I have been on allrecipes.com since December 31 2005, I remember that time because I wanted to make a gourmet meal for my family for a New Year's celebration and needed some help from cooking experts. I just created this account because I forgot both the username AND the password to the other account, which was very foolish of me. I'm back and ready to send out some of my very own recipes soon... I love cooking and am still a beginner, I was born in the state of Washington and raised right here in California. Desserts, as well as Gourmet and Healthy foods. Eating foods from different cultures and countries, such as mexican food or food from China. When I was 11 I fried my first egg, and when I was 12 I learned how to cook Steak and Spaghetti. I'm still a beginner because I do make many mistakes every now and then. Burning my finger, setting the house on fire (no just kidding LOL!)
