After a few years of single living and frozen dinners, I'm cooking for a kid with adventurous tastes (now, how rare is that??). I've set a goal of at least one new entree each week -- it's been fun (and, alas, a bit fattening)! Recipes with lots of beans and vegetables; pasta; anything involving tomato sauce and cheese! My tested-and-true recipes are mostly vegetarian, but I'm definitely an omnivore. I come from a long line of incredible Southern cooks, but I wasn't really taught how to cook :( Breadmaking -- with whole grains! Anything involving hot oil is usually a disaster for me.
