I have been cooking since I was 10 years old and I absolutely love it. My step mom is an amazing cook and I use to enjoy helping her in the kitchen. Most of my cooking skills have come from watching cooking shows. I love using my slow cooker, especially in the summer when I don't want to heat up the whole house. I love cooking all types of foods and experimenting with all the different flavors. Mexican food is probably my favorite type of food to cook. I'm working on creating my own family traditions. I consider it a triumph anytime I make something that someone else really enjoys. I guess I would consider this a tragedy... The first time I ever baked a pie my cat decided to sneak up on to the counter and take a nice nap right on the pie! I guess he like how warm it was...
