I am about 22 years old, I live with my boyfriend of 4 years and make him try everything new first. I work as a Pharmacy Technician and don't cook as often as I'd like to, so I try to make up for it when I do.
My favorite things to cook
I love all things baked. I love to make desserts and I'm really interested in trying all sorts of different world cuisines. I also have a soft spot for basically anything wrapped in crescent roll dough.
My cooking triumphs
The first time I made dinner for my family was for Mother's Day, and I made cream of broccoli soup and Lemon/Honey/Rosemary Roast Chicken. They both turned out really well. Just recently for my boyfriend's birthday, I made his family dinner: Spinach Puffs, Salad, Shrimp Scampi, Sauteed Squash, Garlic Asparagus, and Pineapple Upside Down Cake. Also, when I decided to make chocolate lava cakes totally on the fly and everyone wanted seconds.
My cooking tragedies
Well, the first time I tried a recipe that I have now come to love, broiled chicken drumsticks, I failed to adequately coat the chicken in oil, resulting in burnt stuck on chicken mess onto my (thankfully) foil lined cookie sheet.
