I'm a vegetarian so I love playing with new ideas and foods to find things that are both tasty and health-conscious without incorporating meat. My husband isn't veggie like me, so he's my true test of 'pass' or 'fail'! For a family get together I made a completely homemade meal with: homemade spinach ravioli stuffed with sauteed mushrooms; homemade fresh tomato sauce, homemade caesar salad (even homemade croutons!), and foccaccia bread. Plus a homemade cake of course! What possesed me I'll never know, but for my husband's birthday at my in-laws I made (wait for it) BEER cake for a birthday dessert. It was soooo awful even I couldn't eat it. We still hold it as the benchmark all time low as in "well, it could have been beer cake..."
