Tyran
I am presently using your peach cobbler cake recipe. I have a question is this cake a dese cake with the frozen peaches?
Hi Tyran, the cake is dense like a pound cake with or without frozen peaches. This is not a light and fluffy cake. Many have made successfully using frozen peaches. Let me know how it goes.
Joyce Gress
I just found your blog and can’t wait to make your recipes. I live in Colorado too but at a higher altitude. I’m at 7700 feet, would I need to make additional adjustments to your recipes?
Love hearing this Joyce, thank you so much! I am so glad you are here. I do not believe you will need to make additional adjustments at 7700 feet, I have had people make my recipes up to 9000 and they have worked, but if there is ever a question, let me know and I will try and figure it out for you.

I am making the homemade vanilla extract. I have a bottle of Vodka that is 100% proof, 50% alcohol. Is this okay to use or would it be too strong? Thanks.
Hi Barbara, I am not 100% sure, I think it should be fine, I would suggest making a small bottle to begin with if you are concerned, or dilute your 100 proof with a lower proof. The Vodka I use is 80 proof. Let me know how it works out!
Derri Greene
Hi Kathleen, I made your Penne a la vodka last week and am making it again – delish! Quick question….when the recipe calls for 4 oz. of Parmesan cheese, is that 1/4 cup or 4 oz. weighed on a scale? There’s a big difference between the two.
Thanks so much! – Derri
Hi Derri — it is 4 oz, personally I love lots, but truly you can put as much or little as you’d like! So glad you loved it. I just buy a 4 oz (roughly) block and grate it myself. But have also cheated plenty of times using pre-grated cheese. Merry Christmas!
Cynthia Hatch
Hi Kathleen, I have a question that I hope has an easy answer. I want to print your Mimi’s copy cat bran muffin recipe, for my own use, and wish that there is a way to utilize a printable version, without all the photos. How do I do that? Thanks a bunch! Killer recipes!
Cynthia
Hi Cynthia, absolutely, that’s so strange! It should print with only one picture, I’m attaching the printable here. Let me know if you got it and it works. https://www.thefreshcooky.com/wp-json/mv-create/v1/creations/106/print
