About this Cook
I am 36 years old and absolutely love to cook! I just started really exploring the hobby about two years ago. It can be really challenging and exciting to try new things and see how they turn out. I live about 30 minutes from Chicago, IL and just got married about two months ago. I have a dog named Sammy who is the cutest thing in the world! He is a Terrier Mix that we just adopted from a shelter about six months ago. I work in the Human Resources/Benefits area for a Pharmacy Benefit Manager.
My favorite things to cook
I am a vegetarian so I love to cook creative dishes that that are meat-free! I would have to say Italian is my favorite. I couldn't live without pasta.
My cooking tragedies
I made pea soup and didn't cook it long enough. The split peas were hard and they made my husband sick.

The Best Vegetarian Chili in the World
I started out with good intentions of just following the recipe as directed but it just didn't seem to be quiet right. It was very thick with the three cans of crushed tomatos. I had to add two cups of water to get the consistency right. The vegetable proportions were way off in my opinion. With the amounts the recipe calls for you could hardly tell there was any in the chili. I ended up adding an additional 1/2 onion. It still didn't seem to matter. If I make this again, I would add an additional medium size onion and an additional green pepper. I did make a few alterations to the recipe a, which I did not take into consideration when rating this recipe. Just a few personal touches I thought of along the way. I added four stalks of celery and a bottle of Samuel Adams beer. I also added extra chili powder and some cayenne pepper for an extra kick!

Stuffed Green Peppers
The mixture of flavors in this recipe were great. The black beans were a great addition to a traditional vegetarian stuffed pepper. The only reason I gave it four stars is because I had to make one alteration. I mixed tomato sauce in with the black beans and rice to give it a nice moist texture. As the recipe called for I also poured some over the peppers at the end. If I did not add tomato sauce to the filling I think the peppers would have come out very dry on the inside.

Grilled Marinated Shrimp
Excellent recipe! My charcoal wouldn't light on the grill so I broiled the shrimp. They still turned out great! I saved the left over marinade to pour over angel hair pasta. My husband loved it!
