About this Cook
I love to cook healthfully for my family and church family.
My favorite things to cook
Dinners are my favorite. I love to cook a variety of ethnic vegetarian dishes. My family loves almost everything I cook! That is such a blessing!
My favorite family cooking traditions
Tofu Turkey for Thanksgiving. Baking with Whole Wheat and Honey.
My cooking triumphs
I made the olive penquins on ice with cream cheese igloos. It was a presentation that everyone at church loved!
My cooking tragedies
Forgetting about the toasted almonds in the oven! My kids used the charcoaled almonds as side walk chalk!

Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes
I liked the recipes very much. However, it needs to pack in more nutrition. I altered it with the following: FOR THE FLOUR 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour, and 1/4 cup flax flour FOR THE SUGAR I used 1 cup Sucanat sugar (not refined) and did add the brown sugar. FOR THE FROSTING It only needs 1 cup of confectioner's sugar not three! Now the cupcake has more fiber, and less refined sugar. Much better for you.

Bacon-y Bok Choy
Really good, but I used artificial bacon instead of real meat. My family enjoyed it too.

Cranberry Mango Bread
Very delisiouso! I used organic sugar. Instead of using all whole wheat, I substituted about 1/2 cup flax meal. I thawed frozen mangos and pureed in the food processor. A quick way is to food process the mangos, then the cranberries, then the walnuts to get them ready. I did not use 1 tsp. salt - that's way too much. Cut it down to 1/2 tsp. salt. I used Olive Oil instead of Canola. The top comes out crunchy. It's very good. I also doubled it and made muffins. I got two medium loafs, one large, and 12 medium muffins by doubling it. I gave them away as gifts. I brought this to church and everyone loved it. Thanks!
