Here`s what I have been cooking.. http://www.digitaljournal.com/group/146 Just before I moved out on my own, I started to express an interest in cooking mainly because I wanted to eat healthier and stop eating prepackaged meals. My mom always made home-cooked meals and never used prepackaged anything. I thank her so much for bringing me up on good well balance meals and therefore inspiring me to do it for myself, and one day my family. I am in my mid-20's and living with my boyfriend and my cooking has developed to a pretty good skill level. I keep learning new things, trying new things and just enjoy food in every possible way, from cooking it, to eating it, to watching others cook. I love the Food Network and this site for inspiring me in the kitchen. :) I love cooking pasta but I am sure it's mainly because I love eating pasta. I also love cooking Mexican. I also enjoy swapping fatty ingredients for healthier ones without sacrificing the taste. Cooking for an army regardless of whether you're actually cooking for 3, 4 or 5 people - Having no room on the table (bread, side carb dish, main meat dish, veggie dish and a salad)and just being a loud Portuguese family around the dinner table. It's not a well mannered table but a very happy and satisfied one. :) Learning to multi-task when cooking multiple dishes. Making healthy alternatives taste just as good if not better than their fatty counterparts. (ground turkey/chicken, milk/sour cream in place of cream...etc) I don't bake - so nothing tragic yet but I am sure when I first attempt it there will be a tragedy to report. :)
