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 >

Mad Hungry: Feeding Men and Boys

By Lucinda Scala Quinn
Artisan - 2009

My boys drink a lot of hot cocoa and they're pretty happy with the stuff they can scoop into their mugs and add hot water. Tonight, however, we had no hot cocoa mix so I made some from scratch.

Of course making cocoa isn't difficult but it's more than my boys would want to do every night. The boys thought this was "fancy". Whisking milk, cocoa, sugar and a bit of cinnamon together in a saucepan made a yummy treat. It would probably have been better with whole milk but we rarely have that in the house.

I made this one night when I had a terrible craving for chocolate pudding. It looked so beautiful in the little ramekins - all dark and smooth and chocolatey.

Sadly, the first spoonful left me wishing I had gone with instant pudding. This was disgusting and inedible. It left a terrible aftertaste.

Sad.
