I didn't have much here before because I didn't have anything to say but it was driving me crazy having a practically empty profile page so now I'll babble about myself for a bit. Well, let's see. I have discovered food. Well, discovered in the sense that I learned that it's actually a whole lot more fun to cook and then eat rather than just eat. I've noticed that a vast majority of my reviews are for desserts which is odd since I don't consider myself that big of a sweet tooth. However, I love to bake for others! I bake a lot of sweet treats to saisfy my family's sweet cravings. They're my biggest critics and nothing makes me happier than seeing them enjoy something I've made. I'm not vegetarian, but lately I've been big on making veggie versions of meat entrees. I love how you don't even miss the meat! Thus, I love to cook with beans, tofu, lentils, etc...I love the weird recipes on AR, the ones that are slightly eccentric. If you haven't you must try- Mock Tuna Salad, Mock Apple Pie, and Mock Guacamole. Mmm, fake food! My dad makes these awesome fish calzone type things. We still get together and make them because it is a laborious process. He'll make the fish mixture, I'll knead the dough, and then we'll both work together to stuff the dough with the fish. We race to see who can stuff the fastest and it's so much fun. The "To Die for Blueberry Muffins" from this site! It's the first thing that I have ever made where my family was actually going to admit that I made it! After that, definitely the Sushi Rolls(AR), Sour Chickpeas(not here, maybe I'll submit it), and the Food for the Goods recipe found here. Every time, I make a veggie dish and someone besides me likes it, I consider it a triumph!:) Many recipes that I've tried out of cookbooks have been failures. I love cookbooks because they're so pretty but I always seem to pick out recipes that end up going horribly wrong. Want a list of my failures? Mango pudding, Carrot cake, Oatmeal Date bars, Chicken and Dumplings, Indian Potato Stuffed Bell Peppers, Egyptian Rice, Pasta, and Lentils, Monster cookies, Biscotti, etc, etc. The list goes on and on. A vast majority of what I make ends up in failure actually. That's why I still consider myself a beginner:)
