I'm currently a stay at home mum, which has provoked me to start cooking for the family! Married my high school boyfriend and we have two beautiful children together, a girl and a boy.
Pie Crust V

Very good pie crust. I used this recipe to make lemon meringue pie, and it turned out great! I don't know why but I can never seem to roll out and transfer a pie crust without it cracking and breaking, even though this dough was very moist since I added a whole egg. Call me innovative I ended up using a cake pan to make the pie since I have no pie plates, but it turned out great even when I had to press the dough into the pan where pieces had broken off! Good recipe, 4 stars.

Good cookies. I added a tsp of vanilla and following someone else's advice beat the butter for 5 min, then added icing sugar and beat for another 5 min, then added the vanilla and some food coloring for something different, and then flour in 3 equal parts beating for 2 min in between each addition. I then beated the mix for another 4 minutes, spooned onto cookie sheets and added a chopped cherry to each. I baked for 10-12 minutes and they came out delicious!

Simple Macaroni Salad

Pretty good! Followed the recipe closely, except for not adding any celery(not a fan), and the store ran out of green pepper so I had two red and one yellow. Also I sifted the veggie soup mix, and then blended the dried vegetables in my magic bullet until they were very fine and added them in with the mayo. When I tasted it, it was extremely salty...so next time I will not puree the vegetables, and just leave them out. I compensated for the saltyness with sugar, and quite a bit of it...probably 1/8 cup if I had to guess. Anyway this completely fixed my problem and after a few hours in the fridge it tasted DELICIOUS! So thanks for the recipe! Will make again for sure, the DH loved it!

Really good steak rub! I didn't have three kinds of chili powder on hand, so I just added 1 tbps of the plain old chili powder, and then a couple dashes of paprika, rosemary, thyme and cajun each, yum yum! Only had time to marinate for 45 minutes, and it turned out great! Thanks :)

Yum yum yum! Tasty pumpkin pie filling...needed to be cooked a bit longer, but other than that, great! I didbn't have any ground ginger, so I skipped it out and it turned out just fine without it. Thanks for the recipe!

Easy Chicken Noodle Casserole

Pretty good recipe, thanks! I changed only a couple of things. Instead of spaghetti I added macaroni noodles, and I cut some chicken breasts into small chunks, and cooked them on the frying pan with a little oil. Into the chicken I added in one clove of minced garlic, and one onion, chopped. Topping with marble cheese, I baked for 25 minutes, and it came out yummy!

Very good! I made my own crust from a family recipe, and added half Golden Delicious apples, with half Granny Smith. So yummy, I will definately be making this one again!

Used the basic recipe for the chicken, but added other spices (dashes of paprika, cayenne, chili powder, oregano) and also a can of diced tomatoes. Also left in the onions and garlic, but took out the pasta, turned out good and spicy! Have a glass of milk with this one.

Rosemary Baked Potato Wedges

Yummy wedges! I cut down the recipe to 10 servings, and we had some leftover for the next day. I found the mixture didn't stick to the wedges very well (maybe next time I will try more butter), so I packed them tightly on the pan and poured over what was left of the mixture. Very good! Will make again.

Ashley's Chocolate Chip Cookies

Edible...but not great. They taste okay...a bit cakey but the main thing was that they didn't flatten at all! I pressed down the second batch just so the cookie would be bigger! Oh and definately does not make 3 dozen! I ended up with probably about 2 dozen small cookies.
