I work as a apparel merchandiser for an online company. I mainly cook for myself in a small apartment kitchen. I'm always looking for new recipes! It's much easier to tell you what I don't like to cook. I do not bake or make candies. I also do not grill (yet). My favorite type of cooking is slow cooking (crock-potting). I am from the Midwest so I love American down-home cooking. I also try to use all-natural alternatives when I can. My family loves to cook outdoors, smoking and grilling. My mom makes the best Christmas goodies, like home-made mounds bars! We also enjoy cooking our own family recipes such as Spaghetti & Meatballs and potato salad over and over again! I consider myself good at hunting out flavors, so adding extras to recipes is easy for me. I consider it a triumph every time I make something that my family loves! I cannot bake. Everything either burns, melts, or turns into soup.
