I'm the eldest of five, meaning I have played the cook much of my life. Whether it be Dinner or a cooking experience for my youngest siblings, I have always enjoyed cooking! I was raised in the North now living down South, I have picked up a lot of different styles of cooking and new foods. I was a strict vegetarian for 4+ years, but jumped back into the white meats just recently. Away from the food for a moment, I am 20 years old I love artsy things, music, movies, books, and anything else you may associate with the age-group. I love animals, photography, nature, gardening and hope to become an elementary school teacher. I love to make desserts. I worked at a Baskin Robins for a year or so, and that really sparked my interest. I learned to make icecream cakes while I was there, and really enjoy the process of creating beautifully presented foods. I also like to cook elaborate dinners (not that it is always a success). I am also enjoying the process of making different breads. Still figuring out what it is that qualifies as a favorite thing to cook! :) We have this AMAZING recipe in our family for the best deep dish pizza ever. In Chicago, deep-dish is everywhere but I have found that here in Texas, it's a lost concept. Everyone that gives it a try is instantly hooked! Also, my Grandma's recipe for Chocolate Chip Cookies is amazing. She had to change up the recipe after we found out my young cousin has an allergy to 25% of the ingredients that make up the recipe. I like to make the traditional recipe at home though. Also, Yuuuumm, our Chocolate Torte is to DIE for! Still working on perfecting that.
