About this Cook
I love traveling all over and trying new foods (mostly vegetarian). I will eat fish on occasion.
My favorite things to cook
I am a baker at heart. Desserts are by far my favorite things to make
My favorite family cooking traditions
Growing up my family would cook on a budget and I have incorporated that mentality into my cooking.
My cooking triumphs
Thanksgiving: Champagne Turkey, Sausage,Apple, & Cranberry stuffing, Blue Cranberry dressing, stuffed mushrooms for an appetizer. This was for 15 + people.
My cooking tragedies
Long before the Tofurky was made, a friend and I decided to make a stuffed tofu style tofurky. We had at least 15 packages of tofu that we tried molding it into a colander and then baking it. The whole thing obviously was a disaster and the saddest thing was that was the main dish. There were sad people that Thanksgiving.

Garbanzo Bean Chocolate Cake (Gluten Free!)
Followed the recipe to a Tee the first time and it was amazing. The 2nd time i made it I incorporated peanut butter and it was even better. Very great alternative to a flour filled chocolate cake. I brought it to work and a co-worker woofed the whole thing down!

Monkey Bread V
Fabulous and easy. I added 3/4 cup of raisins, an handful of chopped walnuts, and apple pie filling (1/2 cup or so). This was amazing, everyone at work couldn't stop munching on it. Definitely a keeper!

Teriyaki Chicken Pizza
this is a great recipe. Changed it slightly. I used the Boboli dough and cooked it with no toppings on it for about 5-8 minutes. This made the crust nice and crispy in the middle. Then while the pizza dough cooled down i cooked cut up chicken with teriyaki sauce in a pan on the stove. Be careful not to burn the teriyaki sauce (since it has so much sugar in it). When the chicken was almost done, i added the pineapple juice and chunks. I didnt want to overcook the pineapple. While the chicken was cooking in a separate pan i cooked up a whole onion, sauteed it in a little oil. Then when everything was cooked i layed it the following: 1. Teriyaki sauce 2. Grilled onions 3. Cheese (used shredded mozzarella and a mexican blend.) 4. Added the chicken & pineapple 5. put a little more cheese on top baked it for about 10 minutes My boyfriend wont stop talking about how good it was.
