About this Cook
I am 22 years old. I am engaged to my best friend and we will get married when I graduate from nursing school. I have a lot of hobbies, but cooking is definitely my favorite.
My favorite things to cook
I love to cook desserts, especially pies and cookies.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Well I'm from the south, and traditionally southern cooking is fried and seasoned with grease. I love southern food, but not the way it is prepared, so I take all of my favorite southern food and make them healthy. I dont even own a fryer, and I use Goya to season my vegetables.
My cooking triumphs
I make the best cheesecake ever!
My cooking tragedies
My fiance and I went to our favorite restaurant for Valentine's Day one year, and he ordered the most amazing butternut squash ravioli that we have ever tasted. We went back a few more times, but it wasn't on the menu. That ravioli was all he could talk about, so I found a recipe on the internet that I thought sounded pretty similar. I got off work early, bought the ingredients, and started cooking. I made the pasta from scratch and everything. Everything was going great until I got to the sauce. I followed the directions perfectly, but it was watery and tasted awful. I spent five hours making the ravioli and it tasted so bad I almost threw it away. My fiance was grateful, and years late still tells me how sweet it was, but that was by far the nastiest thing I have ever cooked in my life.

Key Lime Pie VII
I'm sorry, but I was not impressed with this pie at all. Key lime pie is one of my favorite desserts, and I was so excited to try this recipe. I followed the recipe exactly, and before I put it in the oven, I knew something was not right. The pie was not at all firm, it was almost like a pudding. It was not tart (that's just my preference), and the sweetened condensed milk overpowered the whole pie. I guess this would be a good recipe if your looking to make an Eagle's Brand Milk pie.

Cherry Limeade I
This was very good cherry limeade. Tasted just like my favorite drink from Sonic. I read some of the reviews that said it was too tart, so I bought three 6oz cans of limeade to make it 18oz instead of 24oz. I thought this was the perfect combination of sweet and tart. I also tried it with a little vodka to make it a fruity cocktail, and it was delicious, but dangerous. I will definitely make this again.

Easy OREO Truffles
These truffles were amazing! Way better than I ever expected. I followed the recipe exactly, and they came out perfect. No need to make adjustments. I only froze the truffles for two hours and they were fine. I love watching everybody's reaction when they take that first bite. I will try putting toothpicks in the truffles next time to make dipping them in the chocolate easier. I will definitely be giving these as gifts this year in little Christmas tins.
