I'm a 31 year old female who loves to cook for my friends and family. I am an avid photographer and food is often the subject of my photos. I'm known for my burgers and grilled shrimp...always being asked to make them. I love to try new recipes out on family and friends but always go back to the "old stand bys" of grilled meat, my Pop-Pop's beefaroni and swedish meatballs. I've recently begun baking, so this is opening me up to a whole new world! I grew up watching my Pop-Pop make beefaroni and I have finally perfected his recipe! I've learned a lot from my parents, each of them has their own style of cooking. Mom is a long, drawn out cook and Dad is more of "30 Minute Meals" kind of cook (except when it comes to his BBQ or smoker!).
