As a future physician, I take pride in taking high calorie fattening meals and making them healthy, convenient, and tasty! Anyone can make food taste good with butter, salt, oil, but it takes trial and error, time, and technique to make food that's filled with nutrition and love.
My favorite things to cook
I love to bake especially for the Holidays. I challenge myself by taking dishes that are good and good for you!
My favorite family cooking traditions
Southern cooking, cookies, cakes, tarts, breads, and sauces.
My cooking triumphs
Baked goods that are healthy! Banana bread, pumpkin pie, chocolate cupcakes, dirt cake, strawberry cheesecakes, and zucchini muffins. I have also mastered a low calorie cordon bleu, chicken pot pie, and spaghetti sauce.
My cooking tragedies
I tried to make banana upside down cake. YUCK!!! I also used 3 hours of my life to peel, chop, and steam butternut squash to then puree as a sauce for chicken pasta...it was way too naturally sweet and nobody asked for seconds :(
