About Me: I love to bake and bake and bake, espeacially pies and cakes! I also enjoy making healthy dinners for my family.

My Greatest Cooking Triumph: Making an 11 layer chocolate cake, and completely covering it in chocolate curls

My Biggest Kitchen Disaster: I once tried a recipe for chocolate chili, and it tasted terrible! My family had to eat cereal for dinner.

My Food For Thought: An apple a day keeps the doctor away.

My Interests:

Makeover Chicken Cheese Enchiladas
This made-over recipe features all the cheesy, savory goodness of the original in a much lighter form. Now Diane Witmer's family in Spencer, Wisconsin can enjoy these enchiladas for dinner with all the taste, but none of the guilt!
Pecan Brittle
Crunchy Peacan Brittle is a great snack when the weather gets cold, and this candy melds sweet with salty perfectly. It is simple and enjoyable to make, but even better to eat! —Andrea Quiroz, Chicago, Illinois
Stir-Fried Chicken and Rice Noodles
From Oromocto, New Brunswick, Kim Pettipas offers a great dish to showcase rice noodles. "Don't let the ingredients fool you," she warns, "the stir-fry is very simple. We love its Asian flair."
Strawberry Cream Cake
“I can’t tell you how many times I’ve made everyone 'ooh' and 'aah' when they see this beautiful dessert. It is wonderful for any occasion.”—Agnes DeLeon, Melrose, Montana
