"Gale and FN....
I love this cake. It is my go to scratch chocolate cake. I first printed out this recipe in Feb 2008! I have found that it makes great cupcakes, too. Also have halved this recipe ( weighed and remeasuring everything) and it makes one small bundt perfectly. Keep up the good work!""

"Alton... I love, love, love...did I say love? this dip recipe. It is my go to recipe from now until eternity!"
Reviewed Scalloped Potato Gratin
"After reading the reviews, I decided that this is what I have been looking for in a recipe like this or should I say just the basic ingredients. I live alone so will be making just enough for 2 servings in individual au gratin dishes. Can't wait for dinner tonight!

About Me
I have been cooking and baking since I was 11 or so. Born in LA, raised in San Antonio, I was inspired by my late mother to always try out new foods. My fondest memories of her were making Santa face cookies at Christmas time and egg rolls from left over turkey.
I live alone so my biggest challenge is adapting recipes meant for larger families to single servings.
Favorite Foods
What is my favorite dish to cook? Sometimes it's it's simple. Other times it can be what my daughter describes as "project" food involving many steps and procedures. I enjoy that however as it challenges me to be creative.
I love to bake and will often be inspired to make something at 9:00 at night! This means that although I have satisfied my craving for a given flavor, I end up taking the rest to work and sharing with my co-workers(not that they object!)
