I received my profile nick-name because I was always baking something, but have been learning to enjoy cooking even more since joining Allrecipes with all of the available recipes. In 2001 I graduated from the University of Michigan with a B.A. degree in Liberal Arts. I also received a certification in Baking and Pastry Making & Culinary Arts. I can be contacted at: sarahstephking@yahoo.com Please put Allrecipes in the subject line, so I know who it is from. Seasonal & holiday recipes are my favorite along with baking. For most dinners I enjoy quick or light meals, especially with lots of fresh ingredients. A new interest is finding a restaurant inspired dish or coffee shop drink recipe to try at home. We had quite a few growing up. However, since being an adult I have started making some of my own. One would be making from scratch cakes on birthdays. I cook or bbq, at least one dinner, when people stay over. This year I decided to do a Christmas cookie tray. Never to late to start a new tradition. As a child it was baking and decorating all of the Christmas cookies, each year, for the Christmas table or for my grandma to ship out of state to the relatives. Currently, it is all of the weekly meal planning I now consistently do. I also started saving many reviews and photos, on my Allrecipes page, which I intend to print into a personal cookbook. Having a glass dish explode in the oven and using a broiler for the first time and catching the vegetables on fire. Don't leave the broiler when using it. However, I do use it often now for broiling meats and sandwiches which gives them a very good flavor.
