I'm 20 years old, and I have recently moved out on my own. I work at a state park here in Florida and I love the outdoors. I never did have much interest for cooking until I moved out. I am just beginning to experience making new and exciting things and cooking is quickly becoming a hobbie. So far I really like cooking chicken and experimenting with different spices/sauces. And plus, it's super easy! My family is very Italian, and so therefore we always cook a lot of pasta. We have countless recipes and I love making them. But lately I've tried to branch away from that type of cooking because it is so fattening and not very healthy. I don't have any spectacular ones yet! Sadly, I have accidently made home-made mac and cheese with Crisco! I mistakingly thought the crisco stick was a butter stick and plopped it in! I had no idea why it smelled so weird until I tasted it!
