I love to cook! Whenever I am having a stressful day, baking something sweet always makes me feel better! I thought about going to Culinary school, but since I can't afford it, I try to teach myself a new cooking technique every week. I'm always trying different recipes! Baking is probably my favorite part of cooking. I love making pastries, cupcakes, pies, or anything with chocolate! I also like to change up recipes so that they are healthier but still delicious! Cooking thanksgiving dinner and making Christmas cookies are my favorite traditions. I am much more interested in cooking than the rest of my family, so I'm trying to instill some new cooking traditions that will hopefully last! Teaching my grandmothers some cooking tricks at Thanksgiving 2007. I'm determined to poach an egg perfectly... I'm getting closer...
