I am currently studying to become a nurse and can't wait to finish school. In my spare time I enjoy to cook and bake (my fave!). My other interests include: hiking, backpacking, swimming, and basically anything that gets me outside. Cookies, cakes, and anything chocolate (Notice a pattern?). I also like to cook breakfast on the weekends. However, I am trying to branch out and try new things, that is why I like this website. Christmas and Thanksgiving are always great food days in our house. My Mom makes her awesome sticky buns, and we have the traditional ham and turkey. Accept for holidays, Dad does most of the cooking, and I haven't found a better biscuits and gravy maker. I make a mean spaghetti and good banana pancakes. My recent accomplishments include New York cheesecake and chili (I know it's easy, but it was good). Do we have to mention all of the tragedies? Usually on the path to triumph I stumble a few times. My family gets great humor out of my cooking, because no matter how much I have prepared something usually goes wrong.
