I started cooking when I moved in with my boyfriend and found I enjoy cooking - it completely takes my mind off everything and I can be creative! I try to make something new at least once a week. I love Sandra Lee, Paula Deen, Iron Chef America, and Ellie Krieger. I mostly like to bake - from lasagna to blueberry cobbler. My boyfriend is a meat & potatoes type of guy so I cook a lot of that too. I also like to cook with the slow cooker and do chili and stews. My favorite things to eat are actually just the simple comfort foods like grilled cheese and mc & cheese, blts, etc. so I try to put a little spin on them somehow. I'd like to start them! Nothing that stands out - but I'll keep you posted!
