I started cooking about 6 1/2 years ago when me and my boyfriend moved in together. I really didn't like cooking back then at all, basically because I didn't know how and was too afraid to try new things. Now I love to cook, thanks to websites like these and the food network! I like cooking italian and warm comfort foods like beef stew, soups, pot pies. During the summer i love making different salsas and marinades for the bbq. Cheesecake for sure!! I got a recipe for a cheesecake from a very good friend of mine and i tried it out. It weighed a ton!! and my oven was at the time 50 years old and it took forever to bake!! But it worked and was really good! Chicken Helper!! my and and old roommate used to take the hamburger helper box and add canned chicken. We thought it was soo good. Now when I think back to that, that was a cooking tragedy!
