My name is Minna, I'm 25 and live in a little way outside of Youngstown Ohio with my mom and younger sister. I love baking and cooking but don't do either as often as I'd like. I spend a lot of time reading about both though. When i'm doing food related stuff i like to take pictures of pretty much anything (mostly nature though). You can check out my stuff here: http://www.waigni.blogspot.com/ just copy paste the link. I love making cookies, especially bar cookies and brownies (yum :) No one in my family really cooks or bakes so it's something that I discovered on my own which means there aren't many traditions. I do remember my grandma almost always being in the kitchen making something but she passed away before i really got the chance to appreciate what that meant. Pulling off an entire Thanksgiving dinner by myself and having it actually turn out well. ...I'll just call it a disastrous casserole.
