I'm 21 years old & I've always loved learning new things. Cooking, in my opinion, is an art. Where you can have creative freedom! My mom & step dad cook all the time, as well as my grandpa. Knowing how to cook in the South is pretty much a necessity. But about me, I love animals & music, I'm a massage therapist & aspiring model, I adore working out & love life!
My favorite things to cook
I enjoy baking the most. Desserts would have to be my specialty. I'm not too big on fried foods b?c they can be so unhealthy. But if it's my cheat day, I could eat fried catfish all day long! I am a pescetarian (vegetarian that eats fish) so i enjoy baking or grilling fish. Ultimatley, I'll cook anything.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I always get to help my mom cook for Thanksgiving & Christmas & I love it. I always pick up something new from her every time.
My cooking triumphs
My fiance & I love cooking together. It's a bonding thing for us. He loves pizza, so on Valentine's Day I surprised him with all the ingredients we needed to make our own pizza! We were nervous at first b/c we've never done this before, but it turned out to be the best pizza we had ever eaten!
My cooking tragedies
I was baking sugar cookies for everyone one Christmas, since I didn't have enough money to buy something for everyone. I had just put the cookies in the oven when my neighbor came to my door telling me my dog got out of the yard. The cookies had 30 minutes to bake, so I was fine. By the time we found my dog & I got back to my house, all of the cookies I put such hard work into were completely black. I cried a little.
