I am a college student at UW Madison but I like to dabble in cooking/baking as much as I can and as cheaply as I can. I am a runner, a biology major, and an avid reader (fiction mostly). I like to dabble with everything. I don't always have the money to buy new ingredients so everyday is a challenge of what I can do with the few things I have on hand. My parents are both from Poland so we have a lot of old Polish recipes that we use, especially on the holidays. Pierogi, bigos, kielbasa just to name a few but the habits of Polish cooking run deep in me so that tends to influence what I make.
