I'm a 17 year old high school senior. I still live at home with my parents and 3 sisters(at present, one is away at college). I've been baking ever since I was 2 or 3 years old and enjoy it immensely. This past year I started a collection of recipes for when I will be living by myself, or with my future husband. I'd definitely have to say desserts are one of my favorite things to cook. To be more specific-cookies. :) I'm looking forward to trying new recipes that I've never tried before, including foreign foods. I love learning more about other cultures and the different types of food they have. Baking Christmas cookies together. Hmm..I can't really think of a particular time. When I had to make a whole meal because my mom was working. The meat loaf and rolls turned out okay, but the scalloped potatoes were quite liquidy. The taste was awesome, but the texture was a little odd.
