I love to cook and just a few days ago had the brilliant idea to start a cooking blog. So here I am.
First, a bit about me. I'm married to an amazing guy and we have two adorable kiddos, one of whom just entered the world in December 2010. I'm also an attorney. But not one of those attorneys everyone hates. Really. Well, some people probably hate me, but they don't even know I exist (lucky for me).
I've been cooking since I was a kid, maybe 10 or so, and did the majority of the cooking for my mom and I until I left for college. It's actually kind of amazing that I like to cook, considering my parents, who are . . . uh . . . slightly cooking challenged (example - my dad thinks tuna pizza is a good idea). I have recently gotten into baking, as well.
At the moment, we are a dairy, soy, and beef-free family (thanks, family history of allergies manifesting in my children), so I'm learning how to make lots of things from scratch to avoid dairy and soy ingredients. While it's more work, it has steered us away from most processed foods and is helping us be healthier.
So enough about me . . . on to the food!
How exciting! I'm a vegetarian, but don't exactly live off of soy products. Do you find yourself cooking vegetarian very often?
ReplyDeleteI try to do at least one vegetarian meal per week. It's something I definitely want to do more of, though, because I'd ultimately like to have us eat all local/organic meats, which aren't cheap. So more vegetarian meals would help balance out the higher meat costs.
