About this Cook
Mom of three, love to cook, and I'm the only vegetarian in my family.
My favorite things to cook
Breakfast. I adore making special breakfasts for my family on weekends. It's also especially rewarding when I find vegetarian recipes when my carnivorous family will ask for again and again.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Christmas cookies.
My cooking triumphs
Anything that the family will happily eat - especially when I get those "Thanks for making a great dinner, Mom!" words from everyone.
My cooking tragedies
Was that 1/2tsp cinnamon? Ooops! We used 1/2 cup! Hey, we were 15 and just learning, but wow did that apple crisp taste, um, interesting....

Soft Chocolate Cookies
Fantastic! I made them with 1 and 1/3 cup agave nectar instead of sugar, and 2.5 cups flour (half of it wheat flour half white). They rose nicely, didn't stick to the baking sheet, and tasted like brownies, but light!

Best Brownies
I changed the recipe in this way: substitute 3/4 cup agave nectar for 1c sugar, increase flour to 3/4 cup, lower temp to 325, bake 32 minutes. Agave will keep your blood sugar normal if you're diabetic. It's a great recipe!

Crunchy Dessert Bars
This is amazingly good! I used sugar free cool whip, and agave nectar ice cream. I didn't have vanilla, so I used some almond and some chocolate. Somewhat nutritious, very delicious!
