Reviewed Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies
"I needed to make some quick lacto vegetarian chocolate chip cookies and this one could be made from pantry ingredients! To me, this is a good recipe as written--though I did use butter-flavored Crisco (what I had), cut the salt in half, added an extra tsp of vanilla, and added 1/4 cup milk (I know soy milk would work too) to help the dough come to..."

Reviewed Quick Yellow Cake
"I have made cakes from scratch for years and thought I would give this one a try because of how easy it was--I must agree with others that the texture was very similar to corn bread and I don;t know as though I will make this one again (though I thought the flavor was good--I did use butter flavored shortening because it was what I had). I se..."

Reviewed Gnocchi & Tomato Bake (With Freezing Instructions)
"Let me start by saying that I made a few changes: I added about a tsp of salt and 2 tsp of sugar, doubled the garlic, and also added 1 cup of red wine and 1/2 can of tomato paste with about 3/4 lb of sliced italian sausage. I must say that I really liked the result--and am very glad I added the wine and tomato paste--I don;t think there would..."

Reviewed Crock Pot Oniony Pork Chops With Creamy Mustard Sauce
"These were great! My porkchops were seriously huge (and still a little frozen), so I ended up having them on low for about 8 hours and they were great! It also may have taken a bit longer because I didn;t quite follow directions. I whisked the sauce together in the crockpot, put the chops in (without browning), then put in the cooked onions..."

My name is Karen and I live West of Chicago (on the edge of no where!) with my DH, our two German Shepherds, and our two daughters. I love to golf, garden (except for the weeding!), am addicted to romance novels (and good science fiction), and I love to bake--usually cakes from scratch when I have the time! Since getting married, I have been cooking a lot more and am having a lot of fun trying new recipes! And now that I have two little ones, the slow cooker is my friend! The girls take a lot of time, but they are worth it!
The dogs are my babies too--though they are about as big as I am! It has been a bit of a challenge at times, as they both have severe hip dysplasia, but they are great dogs and I have learned so much about arthritis! I have also learned a lot about cancer, as our female was diagnosed with bone cancer. She is now on three, but doing great post-chemo. They are both great with the kids and love to ***** little hands and feet! and noses! and ears! and...!
I participated in the 2006 Fall PAC--and what a great game/program/thing! So much fun!

I don't know as though I can pick just one type of favorite food... but I have to say that I have loved all of the recipes I have tried from Alton Brown--he is my hero! (And he has even inspired my DH to pay more attention to the food he eats!)

"This is a sugar cookie recipe that I found through Pinterest (http://sweetopia.net/2009/12/sugar-cookie-recipe/) that I wanted to make sure I never lost! It is a nice cookie, and I especially like making half batches--just enough for two cookie sheets worth! I did modify the ingredients just a little and made my modifications to the directions. P..."
