I'm a new wife to my high school sweetheart so I'm learning a lot about cooking (and dishes;)) through experience. My passion is baking and I love making people happy with delicious treats. Plus, I'm a vegetarian so I like tweaking recipes so with just a few differences I can serve a healthy meal that satisfies both my meat-loving husband and I. I'm definitely more of a baker- I love cookies, cakes and all things sweet! I also like trying healthy alternatives and seeing how to make classic recipes a bit healthier and more vegetarian-friendly. Strawberry Glace Pie! My grandma's recipe that won a I-pod touch in a recipe contest! It still saddens my heart when I think of the beautiful 2 tiered chocolate masterpiece with marshmallow frosting and sprinkles that took the great dive. I had spent all day working on it for my friends 13th birthday and had it on a plate on top of a cake plate, I was a proud chef showing my mother when she sneezed (and thoughtfully turned her head) and I yanked it away - sending the top plate flinging off the cake one and plummeting to the floor. Of course it was frosting side-down. Oh the tears that ensued.
