My efforts at cooking are limited to several recipes that I have experimented with to the point that I am confident enough to share the results with others. E-mail me at tcates@utm.edu if you try these. Some examples of my recipes are:

1. A perfect chocolate cake that when completed is almost seven inches tall. It is one of those cakes that does not come from a Betty Crocker box.

2. A blueberry muffin recipe that I "borrowed" from Becky.

3. An eggless eggnog recipe that rivals the best in the grocery store and it is not cooked.

4. A chocolate chip cookie recipe that makes toll house cookies look pretty thin.

5. A Mexican cornbread recipe that I found several years ago.

6. A macaroni and cheese recipe that is wonderful.

7. A good squirrel and dumplings recipe.
