I've been a pescetarian (vegetarian who also eats fish) for almost five years now due to a family history of heart disease. I live with my boyfriend who is a burger-&-fries kind of guy, which challenges me to find things that both of us can share. There aren't a lot of foods that I don't like (except for meat, of course!) and I'm always eager to try something new.

My cooking triumphs
I feel successful when I get my boyfriend to try, eat, and like something of which he has previously expressed dislike. The Seven Layer Tortilla Pie recipe from this site helped me to accomplish this because my boyfriend now enjoys black beans.
