My name is Lindsey. I am a makeup artist, a wife and a mama. I love to cook, I just seem to get the timing all wrong when making multiple dishes... I'm getting better every day though. I really didn't do much cooking before I was married, I would just grab a piece of fruit or heat up some mashed potatoes... you know, college food. I would bake alot though... my roommate would come out of her room at 4am and find me in the middle of making cupcakes or cookies or some other delicious dessert. I am a great baker... general cooking... I'm getting better. My husband and I were married in '07, we have a beautiful baby girl named Aliyah. Now that I have a family, I am trying to have a healthy dinner on the table every night... or most nights. I love to bake. I never mess up when I'm baking. I like to cook things in the oven... casseroles, lasagna, dishes that don't need constant attention. The constant attention dishes... the ones that constantly need to be stirred are the ones that I mess up on. We don't have any cooking traditions... that would be the reason for my poor cooking skills. Every time I make a dish and my husband says he likes it (hes honest which sometimes I wish he wasn't) is a triumph. I recently made the most AMAZING pumpkin pie I've ever had though, so I'm pretty excited about that. ugh... well when we first got married... I mean the first night back from our honeymoon... my husband wanted baked potatoes. At that point I was COMPLETELY clueless on the whole cooking thing. We didn't have like a cooking sheet or a skillet to put in the oven. No tin foil either so I figured I could just put them in a pot and put the top on it and that would work out... no water, just potatoes. Needless to say it didn't. They ate the Teflon off the bottom of the pan and completely burnt. It was terrible... I cried so hard. I am not ashamed to use the microwave now.
