I am 28 and have been cooking as long as I can remember. Grandma use to always give me her extra scraps to create my own masterpiece. Sometimes it was just too bad to eat, but hey that's what learning is all about. Now I have a boyfriend and 2 yr. son to try my cooking on and so far not too many compliants..lol. I really love to try any recipe that has ingredients that are not too expensive and that I can find at the local grocery store. The best is when I already have in the pantry all I need. With both my boyfriend and I working Full-Time jobs time is a restrint for us so the slow-cooker has become our new best friend. I love cooking for all the holidays. With my grandma getting older and not able to do what she once did I have taken over our holiday dinners and I love it! Making anything that my friend and family Love and want more of. My most requested..Spaghetti and Meatballs, Baked Ham, Chicken and Homemade Noodles, Pumpkin Roll, Celebration Cake, Roast Beef, .... Making a Grilled Cheese at 10 that the dog wouldn't even eat!
