I come from a relatively big family (5 kids), and good cooking was always a staple in our house. I started experimenting in the kitchen as a teenager and haven't stopped since! Anything with tons of vegetables! I'm always trying to make healthy eating decisions, so I love it when I find a new delicious and good-for-you recipe. On the first day of school, my Mom would always have fresh chocolate chip cookies ready for us when we got home. Now that I'm working in a University, I always make chocolate chip cookies for my student staff on the first day of classes. Anytime I create my own new recipe and people enjoy it. "Ultimate Veggie Enchilladas" has probably been my most successful creation. I have a tendancy to burn things in the oven or broiler, because I very easily get distracted.
