I am a 25 year old accountant and I work for a prominent life insurance company, though sometimes I wish I would have gone to culinary school! I grew up in a family of women that loved to cook and bake for their families. Now, I find myself wanting to do the same! I have a boyfriend who is a total "meat and potatoes" man, a father who loves apple pies and banana breads (though I can't bake these nearly as well as his mom-my grandma-did), and a mom who is always looking for new, low-fat recipes! So in essence I have my hands full. I can't even begin to imagine what things will be like once I have kids! I may have to quit my day job after all... :-) Any kind of baked good- brownies, cupcakes, muffins, breads-- you get the idea, Chicken, Mexican cuisine, Dips, Pasta and Sauces, anything that's quick and easy or will put a smile on a loved one's face. Cooking dumplings with my busha, Thanksgiving dinners at my Grandma's house, My mom's chicken dumpling soup, I could go on and on... I still don't think I've had that a-ha! moment. I'd really like to make an awesome apple pie for my dad. When I was little, I once tried to make a funnel cake. The oil started "exploding," and ended up all over the kitchen ceiling. Needless to say, my mother was not too happy.
