My husband is a pretty strict vegetarian, my sons are insistent that they are carnivores and I have many food allergies so finding foods we can all eat is a real challenge. I grew up on a farm so we butchered our own meat and ate it every meal so cooking and eating vegetarian for the last 15 years has been an adventure. I love soups. We eat soup all year long. I grill year round too. We live in the Mushroom capital of the world so I've discovered the joys of cooking with mushrooms of all sorts. I make a mean gefilte fish. It's a baked salmon recipe. My Matzo Ball Soup is eagerly anticipated by family every holiday. (which is interesting as I was not raised Jewish and was only introduced to these foods after meeting my husband) My husband can't live without my apple pie (Rome apples if I can find them, a little honey and cinnamon and a crust of whole wheat flour, butter and cream cheese). I tried to make a recipe with lentils using a pressure cooker. I learned the hard way that it is not recommended to cook lentils in a pressure cooker. It took me an hour of cleaning to get the kitchen back in order.
