I am a vegetarian (not vegan) always surrounded by meat lovers, so I always have to make two versions of every meal.
My favorite things to cook
Vegetables, homemade ravioli, mashed potatoes, cheese sauces, tacos, burritos, enchiladas, chili, stir fry, chicken and dumplings, chicken pot pie, taquitos. I love converting recipes to the crockpot too.
My favorite family cooking traditions
chicken and dumplings. chocolate peanut butter oatmeal cookies.
My cooking triumphs
Mastering home made pasta, pizza, and bread, without the use of any machines. Mastering slow cooker and deep fryer techniques. Next up: cakes
My cooking tragedies
Putting brownies fresh out of the oven on a burner that I did not think was on. It exploded. Glass and brownie pieces everywhere.
