I grew up in Orange County and now live in the beautiful San Gabriel mountains in a little town called Wrightwood in California. I live with my amazing boyfriend and our two great pets - one sweet dog named Annie and one crazy cat named Dynah (from Alice in Wonderland). I am a waitress and am going to school for Massage Therapy. I am easy going, fun loving, adventurous, goofy, and sweet. I love to make enchiladas, pot roast, lasagna, teriyaki chicken bowls, anything Italian or Mexican, and love to experiment with new recipes. My mom did not really teach me how to cook so I had to teach myself. In three years I went from screwing up Macaroni and Cheese (the box kind) to making full-on delicious meals from scratch. It took lots of trial and error but I'm getting pretty good now! I now can make just about any recipe taste delicious! My first meal I made for my boyfriend was a boxed italian chicken pasta meal... I was going to serve cinnamon muffins on the side... Somehow I put the cinnamon blend in with the pasta & well - the pasta was extra sweet! Yuck! He never lets me live that one down... LoL I've come a long way since then!
