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 Homemade Pantry: 101 Foods You Can Stop Buying and Start Making

By Alana Chernila
Clarkson Potter - 2012

I'm one of those people who are scared of pie crust. I'm not really sure why and it makes me feel ridiculous.

Anyway, Alana posted a tutorial along with this recipe on her blog and I gave it a go. Just as she promised the crust came together nicely in the kitchenaid.

I split it in two discs and refrigerated overnight. This morning I rolled them out and the dough was nice and pliable with no cracking or sticking at all. It baked up nice and flaky though we haven't tasted it yet. I have the best looking apple pie I've ever made and I have to wait over 24 hours to eat it. So sad.

My goal is to stop buying bottled salad dressings. They're definitely easy enough to make at home.

This dressing is different than the others I've made at home so far as it uses olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice and lots of dried herbs. It looks like the Zesty Italian that you buy in the store.

She suggests letting the dressing sit for 15 minutes to let the dried herbs rehydrate which, now that I think about it, makes so much sense.

Delicious! A great salad dressing to add to my repertoire.
