I love to cook and am ALWAYS looking for new recipes. I practice martial arts and living a healthy lifestyle goes along with that. I love to hang out at home and there you'll find me in the kitchen or watching a good movie with my boyfriend, 3 cats, and a dog. We don't have cable tv and I really miss food network but life is a lot simpler without it. We do pull out the "rabbit ears" to watch Giants football...superbowl Champs 2008!!!! I knit during the winter and surf during the summer. What more can I say.....I enjoy life and love to spend quality time with the ones I love, especially hanging out in the kitchen. ;) I like to cook seasonally...we were meant to eat that way so I try my hardest to keep it that way. Some of our favorites recipes include chicken-bacon shish kabobs (allrecipes),Chicken strips with blue cheese dressing (cookinglight), Greens with Roasted Corn and Pepper Salsa (cookinglight), Rogan Josh (random cookbook), Award winning Chili (allrecipes), buttery rolls (allrecipes).......the list goes on and on. getting together with the family for the holidays and spending all day in the kitchen with my Grandma. Cooking my first Thanksgiving Dinner, when I was 22, for my boyfriend and his family....including home-made bread. :) While mixing the sugar and cream cheese for an oreo cheesecake I leaned the mixing on the mixing bowl and the whole thing toppled over and hit the floor. Leaving a gooey, sticky mess all over the floor. It felt like it was sticky for days even after a good scrub down. Worse of all we couldn't get the dog to stop licking the floor.
