About this Cook
I am a newish mother to a wonderful 11 month old son. I am a lifelong vegetarian and am raising my son (and husband) the same. I have travelled pretty extensively and love trying new foods.
My favorite things to cook
Anything Mediterianen. I love all things garlicky. I make a mean spaghetti sauce. I love Greek food.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Food is love or so my father taught me. Meals in our house take a long time to make and even longer to enjoy. Whoever said talking with your mouth full of food is rude has never set foot in my house!
My cooking triumphs
Baby food. My son has yet to partake in large amounts of jarred food. It is all homemade. I turned my husband, a carnivore, into a tried and true vegetarian.
My cooking tragedies
I still think the powdered cheese in Kraft mac and cheese is the best! I got through college on processed foods alone.

Asian Chicken Noodle Salad
Wonderful!! I am vegetarian so I substituted fake chicken for the real thing. I also had a bag of shredded carrots that I needed to get rid of so I added those. Absolutely delicious.

Spinach Enchiladas
Excellent! I added red bell peps, yellow onion (finely diced), corn and a touch of chipotle to liven it up a bit. The original gives a nice basic recipe to experiment with.

Easy Lemon Cookies
These were amazing. Easy does not begin to describe the process. I had no extract so I used about 3 T lemon juice and 1 t lemon zest. I refrigerated for a few hours, but probably didn't need to do that. They are so delicious. They are like a soft lemony sweet sugar cookie. These are my new go to cookies. I want to try it with chocolate cake mix next. Thank you.
