My name is Jessica and I live in MN. I live on a tiny lake with my mom. I love to cook and eat. I generally eat very healthy, which doesn't always jive with me always wanting to bake sweets! =) I take care of my 6 month old niece during the week and have a building I clean. I recently adopted a rescue dog from Kentucky, actually on the same day my niece was born, and shes a little over a year old. She's alot of fun but she is very naughty! I would be happy to talk to any cooks on this site so you can email me at linkinparkrks@hotmail.com =)
My favorite things to cook
My specialty is baking. Everyone I know always comes to me if they need something for an occasion. I love to bake cakes, cookies, bread, bars, pies, candies and anything else. My family loves that I love to bake since they get to eat everything. I usually end up experimenting with recipes and just try to make them healthier.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I always love to have one big family get together at least once a year. My family doesn't celebrate Holidays, so we have it at other times. It's usually at me and my moms place, and I ususally try to do all the cooking. I love the challenge of having to make 5 or 6 dishes and have them get done at the right time.
My cooking triumphs
Cream puffs, an awesome coconut cake I make......Being able to make 7 dishes by myself for my family.
My cooking tragedies
Basically anything I tried to recreate healthy that tasted like a shoe. I once tried to make a quick bread but had way too much batter for the pan so after about an hour and a half it was just burnt and still gooey in the middle. =/
