Cook the Book: 'The Modern Baker'

Maybe not my biggest success, but most recent. I found the no-knead bread online and made it. I felt as though I were an artisan baker! The bread was out of this world - good, that is.

A real thick rib steak, pasta with grilled vegetables and salad with vinaigrette dressing and creme brulee for dessert.

I'd probably do what I enjoy most - a fresh artisan bread with one or two flavored butters.

Cook the Book: Black Bottom Cupcakes

My favorite is a devil's food cupcake with a white frothy buttercream center, but this Black Bottom recipe sounds delicious. My grandkids are coming for the weekend so I am going to make these tomorrow.

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.

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*

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.
