about me

I am the mom of three sons, the oldest of which is away at collage. I love to cook and love hunting through this website for new recipes to try! Although not actually a vegetarian, most of my cooking is meatless as I have never been particularly fond of handling meat. The last couple years I have been branching out into vegan cooking and have found some yummy recipes here. Fortunately, my boys are game to try new stuff, and are probably the only kids among their friends to request things like lentil loaf or seitan stew for dinner!

I am very lucky to have a hubby who likes to garden as much as I like to cook, and he keeps me well supplied with fresh veggies and herbs--obviously the ideal symbiotic relationship! Living in Hawaii, the growing season is pretty much year round, so we're pretty spoiled that way.

Favorite Foods:

Hmmmm...
I love food with "mouth feel": the melt-in-your mouth experience of milk chocolate (especially Dove's), or the chewiness of grains like barley, wild rice and bulghur, or a smooth risotto for example.

I guess what I'm most famous for are my baked goods, which makes sense as I love home-baked goodies. I'll try just about anything, but honestly, I absolutely love brownies and chocolate chip cookies!
