About me: I've been cooking and baking since I was a child and collecting cookbooks almost that long. Years ago, I lost my entire collection in a flood and I've been slowly building it back up. I cook for my husband and three sons who are not very adventurous eaters. We're on the go a lot with sports and school schedules. I love to bake and my boys and their friends appreciate all manner of baked goods.

Favorite cookbook: King Arthur Flour Cookie Companion

Ginger Pork Meatballs with Cilantro and Fish Sauce from Dinner: Changing the Game

These meatballs and the dipping sauce were to die for delicious. Although there was a lot of chopping the recipe was easy to follow. Everyone loved it and we will definitely make this again. read more >

Fat Witch Brownies: Brownies, Blondies, and Bars from New York's Legendary Fat Witch Bakery

By Patricia Helding
Rodale Books - 2010

I really wanted to love this book. Baking brownies and bars is so much faster than baking cookies. I love being able to mix everything up, put it into a pan, baking the pan, and having dessert.

Unfortunately, none of the recipes I've tried from this book have been better than average. The baking times are definitely off. The results are never spectacular. I'm not tempted to try more recipes from this book when I believe I could probably get better recipes from various other sources.
