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 >

The King Arthur Flour 200th Anniversary Cookbook (King Arthur Flour Cookbooks)

By Brinna Sands, King Arthur Flour
Countryman Press - 1992

"P.D.Q." Ginger Muffins : page 76

The 17 year old gave them two thumbs up.

Another muffin from the P.D.Q. pages. Comes together very quickly - tastes like gingerbread.

I baked these in my muffin top pans but forgot to decrease the temperature to 350. Next time I won't forget.

Apple Crisp : page 310

When time is short or you're looking to make a hot dessert on a weeknight, Apple Crisp is a great go to choice.

Everything comes together in the time it takes to preheat the oven. I used a couple of extra apples (more like 6 or 7 cups of apples) with the same amount of topping.

The aroma that filled our home on a cold evening after the boys returned from sports practices was hard to beat.

Delicious!

Basic "P. D. Q." Muffins : page 74

This is a basic muffin mix which gives a recipe for a standard muffin to which any ingredients might be added. It uses only standard pantry ingredients and comes together in minutes.

I used the basic recipe and added 1 cup of cinnamon chips. I then baked them in muffin top pans - 1/4 cup of batter for each top baked for 15 minutes made 11 muffins.

These were made for my youngest son who prefers the muffin top. They are quite good though next time I'd add some cinnamon to the dry ingredients.

Blond Brownies : page 355

This is the exact same recipe as the Ruth Wakefield Cookie Bars in the King Arthur Flour Cookie Companion except it adds two teaspoons of vanilla. I didn't even realize I was making the same recipe I've made dozens of times before.

The biggest difference was that these were baked in a 9x13 pan while the cookie bars are baked in a jelly roll pan. I found these much easier to remove from the pan in addition to finding them a bit more moist.

As usual, I find these make perfect bake sale fare as they are sturdy and package and travel well.

Chocolate Chocolate Chip Muffins : page 82

Super chocolatey muffin!

More dessert than breakfast fare but we'll eat them for breakfast anyway.

Great recipe that calls for only common household ingredients. I used mini Ghiradelli chocolate chips (a household staple here).

Makes 12 giant muffins.

The New Castle Inn Baked Pancakes : page 45

Excellent baked pancake!

Each pancake is baked in a cake pan and rises nicely up the sides. These pancakes come out thin with crispy sides and a softer bottom. They are less eggy than other baked pancakes I've tried.

While the pancakes baked, I sauteed apples and bananas to serve on top. YUM!

Be sure to double this recipe if you're feeding more than two or have hearty appetites.
