26 year old, married, and interested in natural health/healthy living. In 2007 I found out that I am lactose intollerant so I have been forced to adjust all of my cooking to be dairy-free, it can be a challenge but it is still always delicious. I typically use a recipe as a guide only. My measuring and ingredients are not usually exact, I really dislike following things to a T.
My favorite things to cook
Bread, Sesame Chicken, Pasta, Chicken Soup, Pizza, Breakfast, Chinese Coleslaw, Creme de Menthe bars, Chocolate Chip Cookies
My favorite family cooking traditions
Seasonal Desserts
My cooking triumphs
My friends consider me a creme de menthe bar expert. I love making beautiful pies. Because of allrecipes, I have finally figured out how to make the specialty breads that are expensive in the store (French, Focaccia, Ciabatta) this has saved me a lot of money and impressed my friends and family!
My cooking tragedies
The classic pork chop tragedy and many dinners have turned into take-out...I am definitely more of a baker than a cook.
