    I hope to try all of your recipes! They seem really cool, and I’m 16 so I need to learn to cook! I was wondering if you had any recommendations for beginners, so my girlfriend and I can learn to cook together. (She’s a worse cook than I am!)

      Hi Victoria! I’m so happy to hear that you’re excited to start cooking! That’s awesome! What are you looking to make? Do you want something savory or sweet? Give me some ideas as to what you like and dislike eating and I can then steer you to a few easy recipes. 🙂

        Thank you for replying! And sweet seems like a good place to start. And maybe pasta dishes? And the only things I dislike are most steamed vegetables, they taste like nothing and have a weird texture to me. Thank you for the help!

          Hi Victoria! Ok, why don’t you try my super simple broccoli lemon pasta? It’s so easy to make and can virtually be made in one pot (except for the lemon and butter sauce)! You could also try my cheesy baked pasta tortellini. My KIDS love this pasta, in fact I’m making it for them tomorrow night! Super easy if you like cheese and tortellini that is. Take a look at my pasta recipe list and see if any other ones spark your interest, I have tons, and there are lots of easy ones to get you started. As far as sweets go, all of my sweets are easy to make. My daughter loves making; Robert’s Absolute Best Brownies as well as The best chocolate chip cookies. Those are both easy and loved by everyone! Oh, and if you have a popover pan, you should make popovers. They’re super easy and look so impressive! Enjoy and let me know what you end up making! xoxo, Jacquelyn

    I am trying to find the vegan dark chocolate coconut pie recipe on your site. I can’t find it. Can you help me with this? i just finished making them from the ZsaZsa Bellagio blogspot. I can’t wait to try them.

      Hi Carol! I actually don’t have a vegan recipe for the chocolate coconut pie. I have this pie, http://www.marinmamacooks.com/2012/12/chocolate-coconut-pie/. There is a link to a vegan recipe at the bottom of my post that a blogger friend of mine made. The only thing I will say on her recipe is don’t make the pie in the muffin tins, as it’s super hard to get each one out. Use a tart pan or regular pie dish like I did. I also have some homemade almond joy and mound bars on the blog that are vegan. http://www.marinmamacooks.com/2013/10/homemade-almond-joy-and-mounds-bars/. Good luck with the pie! It’s delish! xoxo, Jackie

          Hi Tom! I received both of your comments and no worries. Honestly, I don’t have a good bbq or smoked brisket recipe. Briskets are not really my forte! 🙂
