I am 26 years old and am married to a totally awesome man since April 2008! We are constantly busy and on the go, so quick food is important, but so is healthy! I was born and raised in St. Louis, and 2 years ago moved to Seattle for a job, which is where I began having to cook for myself. I LOVE to do it and now totally appreciate all the effort my mom put into it! Anything. I will try it all if I have a recipe to follow. I love cooking Asian style, as well as Mexican and hometown, family type dishes. Christmas cookies. :) My mom and I did it together every year. Now that we don't live together anymore, Dave and I cook them and I call Mom while we're doing it. :) I think just mastering as many dishes as I have without burning things! I have more oils and vinegars and spices than I ever thought I'd have! I've expanded my horizons to what's out there! Oh dear. Brownie chips. No matter how many amazing dishes I make, my family will never let me forget the one time that I tried to make boxed brownies with no eggs. It was NOT pretty. :)
