About this Cook
I am a vegetarin and avid baker. I work in Boston, recently got married and have a cat named Cunningham. My hobbies include reading, cross stitching, making cards, and collecting nail polish, bandaids, bookmarks and pens. (I admit, my collections are a bit quirky.)
My favorite things to cook
I love baking - especially cookies! I was never really good at cooking, just baking, but I'm trying.
My favorite family cooking traditions
We cook up a nice vegetarian feast every Thanksgiving.
My cooking triumphs
I made a four layer chocolate cake for my husband's birthday and every bit of it was made from scratch.
My cooking tragedies
I baked a cake for a co-worker's birthday. The recipe said "no egg yolks" but a bit managed to get into the batter. The cake came out really flat, but it still tasted ok.

Veggie Pot Pie
Really good! I made this into 6 mini-pies (see picture) and did use more cornstarch (5 tablespoons). I don't like mushrooms so I substituted with frozen peas which turned out fantastic. I'll definitely make again and again. Perfect with the roasted garlic potatoes recipe and some cranberry sauce!

Garlic Red Potatoes
Ok - cooking time is really off but with a little extra time these come out so yummy it's worth the wait. My husband and I wanted to eat the whole pan but were able to hold off till the next night. They were just as good if not slightly better with a quick reheat in the microwave. We'll be making these again but will cut the potatoes into smaller pieces so they don't have to cook so long. The ones in the picture I posted took about an hour.

Baked Ziti II
A bit bland. Needs some spices or something to jazz it up. Overall it was quick and easy and made enough for several meals. I cut back a bit on the cheeses because it seemed like a lot.
