I'm an English major at the University of Iowa, living with my own kitchen for the first time this year and loving it! Anything tasty and easy on a student's budget. I'm in love with chicken and pasta dishes, and anything baked. My grandmother's rice pudding is to die for; one day I hope to be able to make it just as well as she does. My first cheesecake came out perfectly! I was so proud. :-) When I was a kid, I tried to make popovers and failed miserably. I have never yet been able to get it quite. One day, I hope!
