I'm a fun, vibrant, very goofy person who loves to socialize! I enjoy one on one time as well as group get togethers. I believe food is a great way to bring people together and show them how much they mean to you by making the best dishes :) I love cooking homemade lasagna...it takes forever because the sauce simmers for hours, but boy is it tasty! I also love anything with garlic, but tend to put too much in :) We really don't have any traditions in our family, but we do barbeque quite a bit. There's just something about homemade barbeque burgers that Dad whips up! I'm most proud of my from scratch creme brulee with a real vanilla bean! Boy was it creamy and all my guests raved about it. I also cooked short ribs for a dinner party that turned out amazing...like from a restaraunt. Usually everything else comes out as intended :) Ohhhh I tried to bake an Italian fruit pie once that was all cheese in the crust and a beautiful display of fresh fruit on top. The fruit came out perfect but no one could stomach the cheese part...which was 90% of the dessert! Really bad, but everyone laughed about it later!
