Austin, Texas

You know you’re hearing the liberal beat in the heart of a conservative state when you consider that this city’s rallying cry is “Keep Austin Weird.” Equal parts college campus, state capital, high-tech boom town, and possibly the live music center of the universe, Austin dishes up all manner of world cuisine. But face it: you’re in the middle of Texas. Eat the barbecue (with sauce on the side if you know what’s good for you) or revel in a regional food fusion that makes expats as nostalgic about Austin’s Tex-Mex as a certain Frenchman was about madeleines. Walk it off with a stroll over Congress Avenue Bridge, where the country’s largest bat colony takes flight at dusk—or up Sixth Street, where the club scene rocks the night.

About me:
 I have been cooking and creating in the kitchen since I was a child. My Mother always encouraged my culinary creativity. I am now grown and a mother of three with very different tastes in food, creativity is now imperative. Texture and flavor are always an issue. I have enjoyed finding new and creative ways to prepare foods with new flavors and textures to convince my children that even though food may not taste good to them one way they may enjoy it another.

Award Winning Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies

Reviewed on Oct. 14, 2008 by JanJanRice
These cookies were SO GOOD!! I actually caught MYSELF in the bed with the tin of cookies!! I knew at that point I had to give a few more to my neighbors or I'd have an extra (and unwanted) 10lbs on my backside!! So the neighbor's son was happy to take them. All the neighbors were, actually. They kept really well and were softer than the usual Toll House. I gave one to The Mr. and the first thing he said is "They taste like those soft batch ones. Those are my favorite". For those who reviewed the recipe and didnt like it, just add the pudding straight out of the box. And if you didnt get soft cookies, you probably over baked them. I always reduce my oven by 25 no matter what, and bake the goods an extra minute or so. It makes everything softer and more moist. Cakes, cookies, muffins, everything! I wont need any other chocolate chips recipes after this one!!

Quick Creamy Potato Soup

Reviewed on Oct. 14, 2008 by JanJanRice
This recipe was pretty good. I used the frozen diced potatoes. I just thawed them and skipped the boiling step. I also added 2 cups of sharp cheddar to give it some volume to the flavors. If I could do it over, I'd do a little less onion, and I think sour cream would be a good addition. Serve with toast (I always have butter on my toast!) or crackers.
