I had every intention of making Miss Alix Cranberry Applesauce Muffins exactly as written.  But somehow, between than long journey from my laptop to the kitchen (like 3 steps), things began to change.  You all know EXACTLY what I mean ... the infamous changing of the recipe. So as I sit here… MORE

About this Cook
I'd rather make it than buy it. Natural, seasonal, and as organic as possible. Don't get me wrong - I'm only human (grin) - but I try.
My favorite things to cook
Copycat & cloned recipes, Mexican, Italian
My favorite family cooking traditions
I'm trying to stop old post WWI & WWII traditions and go back to pre-letsjustbuyitofftheshelf cooking.
My cooking triumphs
Giving up overly processed and prepacked foods (without killing my family). Learning how to actually bake and make those things I used to just buy off a shelf.
My cooking tragedies
lol - too many to name. Beans and I still go 'round and 'round.

Soft Chocolate Cookies
These were okay - I seem to have a problem with cookies falling flat no matter what I do and this was no exception. Easy to play with - some i made exactly as directed; others, I added coconut to, some with mini-m&m candies, some with toffee chips - all were nice. Nothing knock your socks off, but a good staple to have for when the grandkids come knocking.

Peach Cobbler
This is more like a cake floating atop a bed of peaches than what I could call a cobbler, but hey - that's just a regional variation type thing I guess. This will be my go to recipe for those spur of the moment oh my goodness I have to get a quick dessert on the table type things (which I have a LOT). Do use a large can of peaches, keep liquid the same, cut butter in half, and bake in a 9x9" pan (8x8 too small for amount of peaches). Mine (in an 8x8 pan) took 33" to cook and was edible, was still a little to underdone for my tastes, but husband loved. I think simply increasing size of pan to the 9x9 will fix that. Thanks so much for recipe!

Ground Beef and Rice with Cheese
It was cleanout the fridge day and low and behold, I had leftover brown rice, ground bef, and tomato soup to use up. Halved recipe (except rice - ended up using about 3 cups cooked) - I was fully prepared with standby dinner as I simply didn't think this was going to work. But it was GREAT! Used cheddar cheese instead of processed, 1 can of soup, and 1T of chili powder. I truly enjoyed. Tasted a bit like a tamale pie dish.
