About this Cook
I financially support my boyfriend, who is on permanent disability for his back. He has recently developed heart and intestinal issues, and has been told that he has to go on a low sodium diet. I have found several recipes on here that have been incredible, and am on the hunt for more healthy ways that we can enjoy food and extend his life (and mine).
My favorite things to cook
I love to cook veggies. Not big on frying, and love to try new combinations of taste and texture. I love trying new things and new cultures in cooking.
My favorite family cooking traditions
My mother is vegan and my father is close to vegetarian (although he loves a good steak once in a while). My parents cook with a lot of rice and tofu; I am not a big fan of tofu unless I can't taste it.
My cooking triumphs
I have successfully made a few vegetarian dishes that people wouldn't know were missing the meat. I want to find more.
My cooking tragedies
I'm not much of a baker....

Fish Fillets with Stuffing
I used 3 fresh catfish fillets and decided to bake rather than microwave based on other user reviews. I also added 1/2c diced zucchini to the stuffing. It came out rather bland (I'm used to more flavor); I added some lemon juice, garlic salt, and marinated artichoke hearts after the dish was complete and thought it tasted much bettter. Good idea for a recipe, just needs more flavor.

Butter Bean Burgers
I didn't have jalapenos on hand, but I used 1 onion, 1 leek (left over from another recipe), and 5 cloves of garlic. (I also doubled the recipe) I sauteed the onion, leek, and garlic in 2 tbsp margarine until soft and then mixed in with all other ingredients. I made the burgers thin and served on fresh potato bread rolls with fat free Miracle Whip, red onion, and tomato, german potato salad, and corn on the cob. Doubling the recipe made enough burgers for me to freeze about 6 and have another 6 on hand for the next few days. Will definitely make again. Thank you so much for this recipe.

Hot German Potato Salad III
This was fantastic. I'm really trying to cut back on fat and meat, so I eliminated the bacon and sauteed the onions in a small amount of hearth-healthy margarine instead. To add the bacon flavor, I used a few shakes of Bacos (not made of meat, low sodium, no fat)after the salad was already made. I made the sauce all at once; mixed the dry ingredients in a bowl, added the water and vinegar, and cooked all together until it boiled. I used golden potatoes (some fell apart, but still good), mixed the sauce in, and let it sit for a few hours at room temperature. Sprinkled the Bacos on after mixing together. Friend absolutely raved about it. Thank you, Tricia!
