I am going back to school to study nursing. I try to stay healthy, through nutrition and exercise. The nutrition part is hard because I love baking desserts! I'm currently training to run my first 10k in October!
My favorite things to cook
I LOVE baking pretty cakes and pies! I also enjoy ethnic foods, especially Asian and Mediterranean. One of my favorite recipes is a Greek Chicken with kalmata olives- yum!
My favorite family cooking traditions
My mother makes the best homemade soup. She taught me how to make chicken soup and I make it on cold winter nights and whenever someone I care about is sick.
My cooking triumphs
I was very proud of the last cake I made, totally my own recipe, except for the ganache, and it turned out as yummy as it looks! I plan to keep on experimenting with baking and cake decorating, but I'm definitely a novice in that area.
My cooking tragedies
When I was in Jr. High school, I attempted to make home made chocolate chip cookies. I accidentally put a tablespoon of salt in the dough instead of a teaspoon and wow, did that make a difference! Yuck!
