I've been a vegetarian since February 2008 and am have been experimenting (usually successfully) with various ingredients and cooking methods. I always enjoy learning new things too! Anything vegetarian. Most desserts fit this category too! Yum! =) I grew up with many favorites that my Mom would make. Among the ones I remember most fondly are city chicken, shrimp scampi, lasagna, bubble bread, green jello salad, and mint chip ice cream cakes. Unfortunately, many of those that I so enjoyed are no longer in my diet (vegetarian). So, I'll make some new ones. Got any suggestions? =) A near-perfect white chocolate raspberry cheesecake for my Mom's birthday. Using everything up from my CSA without wasting much. Next year I'm shooting for not wasting a thing! A new theme for every dinner party that always goes off well! Not using all the tomatoes from my garden and CSA this year. A horrible watermelon pie at my Greek-themed dinner party last year (good thing I had store-bought baklava as a backup).
