I am in my final year of grad. school to become an occupational therapist. I graduate in May 2010 and can't wait to start "real life". I am married and have a little puppy named Lillie. I couldn't love them more. I love to cook very simple recipes that don't require a lot of ingredients but still have amazing flavor and a lot going on. I'm big on "down home cooking" like mashed potatoes, green beans, chicken, and gravy. I really like anything as long as it doesn't require buying a lot of extra stuff at the store. My grandma's homemade veggie soup and bread. I love anything that any of my family makes, it's not just food to me. If they took the time to prepare something it's about love and making each other happy. One time I made a Paula Deen apple pie. It was HUGE. It went over very well and was delicious. That was a pat on the back for me. Creamy polenta. I don't know if it was just a bad recipe or if it was me but it came out tasting kinda bad. It was a tragedy because I had to throw out all that food. I won't make it again.
