I'm 26 years old and live with my BF. We share our house with our "furry" kids, 2 cats and a very lovable dog. I love to cook, it relaxes me and helps me focus, kinda like a good book! I love to make a mess but hate cleaning it up.....my dad would say that's why he had kids, to clean up after him!! ha ha Not a bad idea.....J/K I love to make appetizers and pasta dishes. I'm an appetizer queen! I'm always excited for the next party we're invited to just so I can make something fun and delicious. My great grandmother was from Germany and made some amazing dishes. The two I remember helping her with the most were her meat balls and German chocolate cake. Now that my BF and I live together I look forward to creating some of our own traditions. Anything that doesn't come out burned, scorched or gross! I was proud of my cake in a cone and my pizza dough I made from scratch. My BF would say that he LOVES my italian beef sandwiches BUT I make it in a slow cooker so I feel I can't take ALL the credit. :) CHEESECAKE! I've finally mastered the art of baking, although I would prefer to eat some one else's baking than my own, but I CANNOT make a cheesecake. I think it was because I mixing everything by hand and it wasn't smooth enough. I'm hoping my mixer will creat some miracles for me.
