i have been cooking for a couple of years, but mostly the same few things over and over as i have mostly been cooking for myself. i think it's time to expand my cooking horizons haha :P mostly i cook stir fry. quick, easy and healthy, and i can make a bunch at once and live off the leftovers for almost a week. sometimes i cook chicken strips, quesadillas, or baked chicken. here and there i toss together a mean salad. my mom makes the best food. my dad's mom makes the second best. my aunt (now deceased) made the best southern barbecue sauce. in january i baked a whole turkey... i was really proud of myself because i didn't think i could do it. it wasn't the BEST ever, but i was fairly juicy on the inside and crispy on i'd call that a triumph! (i am 22 and just recently moved out from my mom's a year ago.) not too many of those... probably because i don't try many new things and when i make something for the first time i tend to follow a recipe EXACTLY. i did make a really horrible impromptu queso when i was about 18 and some really aweful pancakes for my little brother when i was about 13-14. we fed them to the neighbor's dog haha
