While it is only April here in Upstate New York, it has not felt like it for most of the month.  On Monday we had temps as high as 89!  While we did cool down some, today we are supposed to be close to 80.  So, while it may be early to be thinking about the beach in NY, this year's weather… MORE

About this Cook
I have been a member of allrecipes for a long time now. I recently became a supporting member to get a little more use out of the site. I love coming here, looking at everyone's photos and reviews and saving the recipes for myself to try. I have been a blogger for almost 3 years now (outside of AR) and have made many foodie connections! I love sites like this that give inspiration to think outside the box! I have grown tremendously over the last few years as a cook and now have more of an interest in making it also look appealing in photography! I hope you will enjoy my recipes, blogs and photos!
My favorite things to cook
I love to cook and bake anything and everything. I love to experiment and try new things :)
My favorite family cooking traditions
Summer fish frys at my aunt and uncles home. Homemade fudge and popcorn on Saturday nights while a child! When my boys were younger Friday night was homemade pizza and movie night.
My cooking triumphs
My best compliment ever - a cheesecake I made was described to be "better than Juniors!" The pumpkin fudge recipe on this site that I reviewed at 5 stars....this is an awesome cooked fudge recipe. My son totally loves the fudge! As you might see, fudge was one of my tragedies...well not so much anymore!
My cooking tragedies
Once when I was first married, I made fudge. It didn't set up and I was too embarrassed to tell my hubby, so I hid it in the closet (no idea WHY I did such a thing!) and ended up forgetting about it. We came across it one day cleaning and I had to fess up, he had more of a laugh because I tried to hide it!

Parmesan Noodles
Grumpy makes this but calls it Bachelor's Pasta. Garlic is added to the recipe, a bit more butter than called for here and we always use salted butter - not margarine, preference in taste. No onions here either but we do sprinkle it with parsley to give it a bit of color!

Pineapple Upside-Down Cake in a Glass
At first I said I wasn't too crazy about this but the more I drink it the more I like it. ;o) Made it as a martini with vodka whipped cream (almost more potent than the vodka itself!) Still going to try some chocolate cake recipes with it...

Blueberry Cream Muffins
due to dietary needs I used half sugar and half splenda, lite sour cream and white whole wheat flour. I also halved the recipe since we didn't need 24 in the house for 2 people. I was very happy to find that with the changes I needed to make that the muffins quality did not suffer in the least! This one is a keeper!
