Vegetables! tofu, eggplant, tomatoes, soups, pasta, sauces, chicken breasts, indian, sweet potatoes, asparagus, cookies, couscous, risotto. I like to make as much from scratch as possible. Thanksgiving and christmas. my mom still doesnt let me make a lot for either of those holidays, but i push every year. also i usually make dinner for my birthday, my friends' birthdays, and other special occassions.
