My name is Olivia, I'm 20 yrs old. I started baking when I was really little, I started out learning from my mom, and then started learning things on my own. I've been married for almost 2 yrs now, my husband, Adam, is in the military. Mostly I cook for him and his buddies. They've never turned down my food, so I guess I'm doing something right, even though I still learning. lol.
My favorite things to cook
I love to bake! Cakes and cookies and stuff like that, those are my favorite things to cook.
My favorite family cooking traditions
On Thanksgiving my mother goes all out. I love her ham, and turkey. She starts cooking about 2 or 3 days before Thanksgiving, I love it. We do it every year.
My cooking triumphs
When I cook something and feel like it's good enough to feed to other people, then I think it's a triumph. It's never really enough if other people like it, but I'm not confident in it. I need to feel confident about it first.
My cooking tragedies
Banana bread kicked my butt. . .
