Cool
About this Cook
I'm a 21 year old university student living in Canada. I took vegan cooking classes last year and have learned some healthy and delicious recipes. I am a vegetarian but I'm trying very hard to learn to cook with meat for family. I also love baking for my friends and family. I've gotten much better this year!
My favorite things to cook
I want to learn to cook everything!
My cooking triumphs
I guess I'm most proud that although I hate the smell/taste of meat, I've learned to cook some pretty tasty (apparently) meat dishes! My fam's favourite is the baked spaghetti dish.
My cooking tragedies
Unfortunately my mom has a very bad oven that over heats so it took me awhile to get used to. I can never put things in for as long as a recipe calls for.

Apple Pie by Grandma Ople
Wonderful!!! My mom is THE pickiest person - (it is so hard to impress her even though she herself doesn't bake or cook!!) - and she loved it! :) That's how I know it's a great recipe. I brushed the bottom crust with milk before putting the apples in (used 8 smaller sized red apples) and poured most of the mixture on top, saving about 1/3 for going over the top crust. I also used margarine instead of butter.

Quick and Easy Chicken and Rice
Cool. Used leftover chicken fried rice plus a can of maple leaf canned chicken - my fam never even notices the difference. Also used broccoli instead of mushrooms.

Caramelized Baked Chicken
I am SOO excited - I'm in shock by how much my dad enjoyed this!!! He's always easy to please but he went on and on and on about how amazing this was! Here's what I did: mixed 3/4 cup ketchup, 3/4 cup honey, 1/2 cup soy sauce, and some minced garlic; cooked the mixture on the stove top until boiling and reduced heat. Put carrots and 3 bone in skinless chicken breasts in my crock pot, poured the sauce over top, let cook on high for 1 hr, then on low for another 3.5-4 hrs, then on high for the last hour and added broccoli and cauliflower during the last hour. Served with chicken fried rice!
