'Whatever, Martha!' Premiere Tonight, Martha Gets Seriously Mocked by Daughter
I couldn't get past the first 10 minutes of the debut episode. These two sound like a couple of drunken, screeching harpies who are desperate for attention. Not funny.
Cook the Book: 'Olives and Oranges'
A nice, crisp slice of dill pickle for me.
Cook the Book: 'A Platter of Figs'
Butternut squash: Split in half and stuff with a mixture of barley, diced turkey breast, onions, green bell pepper, sage, and dried cranberries that has been cooked up in chicken broth. Top with crumbled feta and bake in the oven until the cheese is nicely browned. It's like Thanksgiving in your hand.

Cook the Book: 'The Modern Baker'
My biggest success was a peach pie that tasted like summer....just fresh peaches and a little sugar for the filling, and no thanks to my lack of actual baking prowess, it remains the most delicious pie I've ever had. Baking kismet.

Dinner Tonight: Roasted Beet Salad
I made this dish last week and it was an absolute knock-out. Easy to make (though my beets took almost twice as long to cook through), and I loved the heat of the peppers balanced against the mild sweetness of the yellow beets.
This makes a great side dish, but honestly, I was pretty happy just curling up with a bowl all by itself.
'Whatever, Martha!' Premiere Tonight, Martha Gets Seriously Mocked by Daughter
I think the show whatever martha stinks!! alexis should be ashamed of herself. and both alexis and jennifer are silly acting and silly looking. they both need to get real jobs and apology to Martha.
Dinner Tonight: Roasted Beet Salad
I love beets my kids use to not like them ,now they do,my grandchildren do but don't. Pickled is good. My kids called them black eggs,there not really black there pickled in a large pickle jar 1 1/2 boiled eggs pickle spice not much 1/3 cup or to your liking 1part vinegar 2 part water 3 to 4 cans off beats.
You can or not in a small pan spice and little water boil the pour in jar. and boiled peeled eggs,beets, water, set in icebox at least 24 Hr. or longer ., good for 3 weeks at least. we make this on holidays sometimes I just make a small jar. You can add any thing you like onion ex.... I like to no how they make cooked beet they seem to have a orange flavor to them.

I like to try different candy recipes during the Christmas Holidays, so a few years ago, I found a recipe for homemade cherry chocolates. They were easy to make and tasted great, so I made a lot of them, for family and friends. Now, every Christmas they all want more of them, lol, which is fine, with me, they are easy to make and you can make them early in the season. They improve with age.

my biggest success was making cream cheese pound cake it came out so perfect that its a request every year
Cook the Book: 'The Modern Baker'
Biggest success is when I make my Candy Bar Cheeskcake. Always turns out perfect. I have never had any horrifyingly bad experiences. So far, so good (knock on wood).

Let's just say that you cannot switch Baking Soda and Baking Powder in and out...you must use what the recipe calls for...*bleck*
Cook the Book: 'The Modern Baker'
My biggest baking success was the Baed Alaska I baked for my husband's second anniversary.
Cook the Book: 'The Modern Baker'
My biggest success is my amazingly awesome Christmas dinners each and every year! I fix all of the traditional favorites and try 5 or 6 new recipes I have selected during the year for something special.
Cook the Book: 'The Modern Baker'
baking mix and flour are not the same thing. the hockey pucks disguised as muffins that came out of my oven are proof of that.
Cook the Book: 'The Modern Baker'
My biggest success would probably be pound cake and blondies as people always seem to love them. I don't have a big disaster story as I check and double check because I do worry about that. I did make a Scooby Doo cake once though that was adorable and tasty but a pain to decorate, I had never attempted that before.
Cook the Book: 'The Modern Baker'
My biggest baking success was when I took a cake decorating class and made my daughter a birthday cake with a birds nest and a little bird. I think it turned out quite well.
Then there was the time I tried my luck at making roses on another cake and that didn't turn out to well.

one time I was baking a quiche in the oven and it overflowed all over my oven ...Thats was not an easy mess to clean! I was so upset with myself, that I've never tried that recipe again.
Cook the Book: 'The Modern Baker'
My biggest disaster is when I forget about what I am baki8ng and burn it. It happens about once every 3 months. My biggest success is my cakes. I have become really good at baking cakes and everyone seems to love them.
Cook the Book: 'The Modern Baker'
I have a disaster about once a week whenever I end up burning something.
Cook the Book: 'The Modern Baker'
My biggest downfall was my first attempt at baked beans, as a novice cook years ago: double the recipe and I must have doubled the time--results were hard, dry, and so stuck to the dish that rather than try to remove it I actually threw out the baking dish. And I was poor and never threw anything out, but this was BAD.
Cook the Book: 'The Modern Baker'
The first time a made cookies in my apartment I used the broiler pan because I did not have a cookie sheet and I remembered my mom using some kind of cooking paper(yes I know now its parchment) I used wax. the wax melted and I tried scrapping it off. There were big black burnt stipes on the cookies. I still brought them in to work for our class bake sell. They sold like hot cakes. All the kids thought it was chocolate stipes.

I recently made my first ever yeast coffee cake, and it turned out heavenly!
Cook the Book: 'The Modern Baker'
I found a great recipe for frosted sugar cookies and made them brought them to work. Everyone thought the were from a professional bakery they turned out so well!
Cook the Book: 'The Modern Baker'
i found a recipe in an old best desserts cookbook for my daughter's graduation party. I was so stressed out! The cinnamon rolls I made were compared to professional ones. It was certainly a miracle!
Cook the Book: 'The Modern Baker'
I found my go-to dessert that is quick and perfect. I make a key lime pie (only 4 ingredients) and sometimes I layer the bottom of the shell with frozen blueberries or raspberries (they must be frozen so they held their shape while the pie bakes) before I pour themizture on top.
A quick homemade whipped cream and everyone is thrilled.

I've had a few disasters. Most of them involve forgetting whether or not I put in an ingredient or how much I put in. Lots of flat cakes.
