Hobbies:
Recently turned vegan and determined not to let it affect my new-found love of being a foodie. Constantly searching for new fun foods to eat that aren't necessarily conventional.
My favorite things to cook
Spaghetti! I've always loved Italian food but the dairy never loved my tummy back. Now that I'm vegan, I love that I can still have my spaghetti- and love it even more that it can be really healthy too!
My favorite family cooking traditions
Since my family traditions revolved around eggs and butter I'm into discovering new ones. I love making whole wheat crepes with mushed banana goodness on top. Vegan blueberry muffins are awesome too.
My cooking triumphs
Cupcakes, cupcakes, cupcakes. Can never get tired of baking cupcakes.
My cooking tragedies
It's probably good I turned vegan- cooking meat has always scared the bejesus out of me. I always overcooked chicken for fear of salmonella contamination and I just never got the hang of steak. Plus handling raw meats has grossed me out to the Nth degree for as long as I can remember.
