Jessica Is Adopting

I love to cook! I probably prepare home cooked meals at least 5-6 days a week. Being a vegetarian who was raised in a household of carnivores, I know how to cook both vegetarian and meat/fish based meals. When cooking for myself, I love to keep things exciting. I try to change up cuisines daily, so one night I may make Mexican, the next something Indian inspired, and the next something Asian inspired. Lately, I’ve been loving curries, veggie noodle stir-fry, and chopped salads with kale & apples. But my all time favorite meals are really quite simple.

• Pizza – this one is not cooked by me. I LOVE authentic New York pizza. Every time, and I mean every time I’m back in NY (at least 3-4 times a year), I stop in the city for real pizza!
• Penne ala Vodka – so simple to make, so delicious to eat!
• Massaman Curry – this one I don’t make too often because the flavor can be overpowering on a daily basis, but ooooo this is a yummy dish!

I would love to say my favorite meal is a chopped salad with dressing on the side, but when it comes down to it, pizza wins for me!

Why are these my favorites? They remind me of home and bring the family together. Pizza because I am originally from NY, Penne ala Vodka because my father used to cook this for me growing up, and Massaman Curry because I love introducing friends and family to curry!
