I love food. I love eating it, watching it be prepared, and attempting to create my own. My television is usually on Food Network (favorites: Everyday Italian, Tyler's Ultimate, Barefoot Contessa) or Bravo to watch Top Chef. I really am not picky at all when it comes to food; I am trying to learn how to cook healthier options that I can include in my everyday life that won't take too much time or know-how. Oh, and that also tastes amazing. Right now, my only cooking skills include marinating chicken breasts and baking them in the oven. I'm also very impressive with steaming veggies... in the microwave. I am very intrigued with healthy, more sophisticated cooking which has been influenced by my obsessive interest in Top Chef. One day.. one day. I'm from the south so everything includes a stick of butter and a little extra on top. Nothing is held back, which is why it tastes so amazing. My mother is an amazing cook, but unfortunately did not pass on the gene. I make wonderfully delicious Pilsbury cupcakes. Anything other than box cupcakes.
