My favorite things to cook
I only cook vegetarian food. Some of my favorite main dishes are: mac and cheese, enchiladas on the stove, veggie stir fry, and mushroom stroganoff. I love making things that taste so much better from scratch, but are normally bought (like bread), and try to use ingredients from farmers' markets and local producers when I can.
My favorite family cooking traditions
When I was growing up, my mom and brother and I would always make the same Christmas cookies, rolling out the dough and cutting out snowmen, stars, and Christmas trees. Then we'd decorate them with different color frosting. I loved to eat the sweet dough, but somehow we still always had cookies to last for weeks.
