My favorite things to cook
desserts - they're the most fun. i get a lot of satisfaction from making hearty vegetarian meals too.
My cooking triumphs
Vegetarian chili that tastes so good and is so easy to make.
My cooking tragedies
cookies! i'm pretty sure i substitute too many ingredients to make them less fattening and end up with scones almost every time!

Hot Pizza Dip
This went over REALLY well at a recent party. I followed suggestions to mix the herbs and cream cheese the night before and I added some garlic powder too. I cut the parm to 2/3 cup, the oregano to 1/4t, and upped the basil to 1/2t. I omitted the peppers and olives and substituted vegetarian pepperoni for the real thing. Is it bad that I didn't tell them? No one seemed to notice and it was gobbled up. Good call on the frito scoops; it's a dense dip and the cheese on top makes it hard to break into at first. A fantastic dip!

Cantaloupe Bread with Praline Glaze
Like others I subbed an extra cup of cantaloupe for the oil, 1c whole wheat flour for 1c all purpose flour, used an egg substitute, and used half splenda half sugar. I also added some dried cranberries and a tiny dash of allspice and nutmeg. No glaze. I made them in a muffin tin for about 35 min. They were soooo tasty! This made 18 muffins, each was 148 calories and only .4g fat!!! I made a smaller batch with some added wheat germ too. I'll definitely come back to this recipe if I have leftover cantaloupe again.

Kori's Whole Wheat Cookies
I used what I had on hand and ended up with the following substitutions: splenda not sugar, margarine not butter, skim milk, a dash of nutmeg, and a drop of almond extract. I also added some dried cranberries in some of them. The cranberry cookies weren't bad - I really wish I had added them to all of the cookies. They were a little dry overall and pretty simple/bland tasting but puffy and light. Maybe some kind of gooey frosting would do the trick. They needed to be pressed down as they stayed in balls when they cooked.
