I'm a young woman (almost nineteen!) living in a teeny, tiny trailer with her boyfriend and some friends from high school. For most of my life, I hated cooking, but I've recently developed an unexpected love for it. =] I haven't heard any complaints yet, so I must be doing something right... Easy recipes with inexpensive ingredients. Very important when you're unemployed and living on a strict budget! Also, anything I can add onions and garlic to is a definite winner! I don't have any yet, but I expect to be making some very soon. The first time I ever cooked anything for my housemates! My boyfriend's a picky eater but loves green peppers, so I tried my hand at making stuffed green peppers for dinner one night. My friends were all too scared to try it, but I decided to go ahead and prepare all the peppers I'd bought anyway---I love leftovers! Despite their initial skepticism, however, they all ended up trying the dish and all loved it! I was so happy and proud of my small victory that I smiled the rest of the day. Too many of these to list! I had a very unsuccessful start to my cooking ventures, I have to admit.
