About this Cook
I have a sign in my kitchen that says: "If we are what we eat I'm either fast, cheap or easy." I would say I'm mostly cheap and easy ;)
My favorite things to cook
I love baking, especially cookies. It is fun to decorate them with different colored icing, sprinkles, etc.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I used to love my mom's meatloaf and noodle casserole. I say "used to" because she is gone, and I've given up meat. It's been about five years now, and I recently went all the way and quit eating chicken and turkey.
My cooking triumphs
Whenever something turns out looking good!
My cooking tragedies
Anytime something that I am taking somewhere to share (usually to work), when it doesn't turn out right I am frustrated.

Unique Fruity Green Salad
Simply delicious. I did make a few omissions but it still came out great. I don't like canned mandarins, so I left those out, as well as the almonds just to cut back on the fat. I cut the dressing amount probably in half, eyeballing most ingredients, so it was dressed lightly. I think it would have been too oily if I had used the whole cup of oil. The banana worked surprisingly well in this salad. I will make it again, perhaps splurging on the almonds.

Chickpea Salad
Just made it and it was quick and delicious! I tweaked it a bit, a la some other followers. I omitted (okay, forgot) the tomato, add a bit of seasoning (salt and pepper), used a dash of olive oil and used a quarter cup total vinegar, the majority red wine.

Fruited Tofu Curry Salad
I should have followed the advice of other raters and sauteed the tofu. Boiling it didn't make it too tasty. Otherwise a pretty decent recipe.
