About this Cook
I am a mother of three, a vegetarian married to a meat eater. I look for recipes that can be adapted. Thankfully my family eats a lot of good healthy vegetarian food and I'm spared eating too many veggie burgers.
My favorite things to cook
Baking bread by hand, kneading and all. Pastas and curries.Really whatever strikes our fancy.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I love Thanksgiving. I remember my mother getting up early in her green apron, and cooking all day. The smells and the snacking made it the best day I remember.
My cooking tragedies
I once made a polenta casserole that looked lovely. Came out all bubbley and beautiful. But when I sliced into it, it turned into polenta soup.

Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins
So so pretty! A bit of work though. And my cream cheese was runny, with chunks, and didn't look right, so I added a half a box more cheese. I dolloped it right on top just like the recipe says, and it came out perfect, just like those famous Starbucks ones. I also skipped the nuts and stirred a bag of dried cranberries right into the batter. I used veggie oil instead of olive oil, and added pumpkin pie spice, since I was low on cinnamon. I wish they were a little bit more pumpkiney tasting, but I think, short of pumpkin extract, it would be hard to achieve. My whole family loved these, and I sent a big batch to the fire house with my husband too! This recipe makes about 36 muffins, twice what I expected, which was awesome!

Salmon Pasta Pomodoro
Great last minute recipe. I used canned salmon, as it's all I had, and I was having one of those "what am I making for dinner?!!" moments, searched salmon and pasta and lo and behold this one came up. I added zuchini. It was excellent!

Very Chocolate Cookies
Even the dough is soo good, I'm amazed they even made it into the oven! Once done, though, mine were a little flat and a bit too soft (falling apart soft). I think next time I'll try adding a bit more flour to get them to stand up better.
