Currently working part-time with a research company and am studying to add a Criminology certificate to my BA in Psychology. Spend a lot of time cooking and baking, knitting, making art and playing with my cat.
My favorite things to cook
Quesadillas & guacamole, pita pizzas, sweet potato stew, gingerbread with rum sauce, Peanut Butter Kisses, comforting cornbread, and really anything that involves hot spices and/or cheese.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Turkey dinner on Christmas Day! My Mom and Grandmother have been making stuffing with savory (available, for the most part, only in NF) and onion bread pudding for as long as I can remember.
My cooking triumphs
Discovering the perfect recipe for fat, chewy chocolate chip cookies.
My cooking tragedies
Making a large batch of pretty Easter cupcakes for my family, and tripping as I emerged from the kitchen with a platter. The result was an unidentifiable mess of icing and cake.
