I am 34 years old and have loved cooking since I was a teenager. In my early 20s I started getting into Southern style home cooking and desserts (especially cheesecakes). I loved finding multiple recipies for the same types of things and combining items I liked from different recipies to make them my own. I would make things multiple times and work through trial and error. My life became too busy after that, so I spent many years not having the time to cook anymore. About two years ago my life slowed down again and I spend a lot of time at home. So I have returned to my hobby of cooking again. I am learning a great deal now about cooking with herbs and have started an indoor herb garden of my own. I am now wanting to start again into making cheesecakes (my all time favorite food). Everyone loves my cooking but I because of trial and error, I also have my blunders. But I get better all the time. Cheesecakes (but I haven't made them in a while)- about to start again. I also love cooking with herbs, grilling, and LOVE anything with vegetables.
