Went to College and Graduate School in Iowa. I now work in Cedar Rapids and enjoy cooking to save money and eat better quality foods. Soups, Desserts of all kinds, fancy Italian dishes My family is known for their desserts I made my first soup from scratch ad it was delicious! Upgrading from dorm room stuff to stainless steel materials :) Leaving popcorn in the microwave too long. Also, timing is not a strong point, some foods are cold when I am finished cooking the meal.
