About this Cook
I grew up eating tradtional southern food (everything fried and covered in gravy). While those foods are delicious, I'm trying to eat healthier these days by eating less meat and more vegetarian dishes.

My cooking triumphs
I once made an eight layer cake decorated like a Christmas package for a party. It was so beautiful - it looked like it came from an expensive bakery. Unfortunately, it was so pretty noone wanted to cut it, so all my efforts were wasted.

Mexican Bean and Squash Soup
Very good base. I used veggie broth to make it vegetarian I used garbanzo beans, and added a can of black beans because it looked like it needed more substance. I didn't use sour cream or tortilla chips, though. Half of one squash made the two cups needed, but next time I'll put the whole squash in. It was a very tasty, healthy meal.

Spicy Baked Sweet Potato Fries
I took the advice of other reviews and lowered the temp,reduced cooking time and used less taco seasoning than the original recipe called for. I wish I had followed the recipe because they weren't at all crispy or spicy. However, they were still very tasty. I will make them again, but will follow the original instructions.

Seasoned Oven Fries
Not as crunchy as I would have liked, but still very good. I used olive oil instead of butter and vegetable oil, though. My teenage daughter thought they were great!
