I'm a 19 year old college student. I recently moved into an apartment with a kitchen and have discovered a love of cooking. This site has been great in offering me new and delicious things to make. I'm very much a beginner, but with the help of Allrecipes.com I've been able to make things that taste great. I love making desserts. I'm not a huge fan of eating them, but I love when other people enjoy eating the sweets that I make. I made the Peanut Butter Chip Chocolate Cookies on this site and they came out great. I'm in college right now and I live in a campus apartment. The RA on our floor frequently has floor programs, usually involving food. I made these for a dessert night once and the whole 2 dozen were gone in 5 minutes. Another time, people actually came to my apartment later in the night to tell me how much they enjoyed it and that "I should be a chef!" I was in a cooking contest and I decided to make a pizza using the Jay's Signature Pizza Crust on this site. It was my first time making any kind of bread and I couldn't get the yeast to proof. I tried twice before I didn't have enough time to do it again. The crust came out thin, hard, and doughy. The judge asked if it was a wheat crust in response to its rough texture. I ended up coming in third out of four, sadly. I've since made the crust again and have had better results in terms of getting the yeast to proof and the dough to rise. Unfortunately, on my second go, I burned the pizza and the outer crust was hard as a rock.
