hi there! i'm 22 years old, and just beginning to love cooking. right now i love experimenting with new recipes with simple foods. the fact that i'm still in college puts me on a budget, but i do as good as i can! I got started into this whole cooking thing by baking my family muffins. They are still one of my favorite things to make, along with casseroles, soups, rice, pasta, and anything i happen to have available in my apartment. Christmas cookies of course! when i baked apple muffins and tweaked the recipe and it turned out FABULOUS and now everyone wants my recipe, but i won't share! it's all a triumph when it turns out! I haven't had too bad of disasters except when things don't get quite done or when i don't have an ingredient so i substitute something and it doesn't really work so well....
