I'm an engaged, 21 year old who grew up with an amazing cook as a mother. I always loved helping out when I could, and I've been learning how to make my favorite childhood recipes. Now that I'm in my own home, I'm trying to save money and have fun by cooking more.
My favorite things to cook
I love making bread -- nothing beats some homemade bread. This also stems from my love of bread/cake-like deserts.
My favorite family cooking traditions
My mother makes incredible cinnamon rolls. A lot of work, but they're well worth it.
My cooking triumphs
I finally got the cinnamon rolls recipe from my mother, and made them. After I made it, without messing them up, I realized how much I liked making things, and that I shouldn't be scared to tackle new recipes on my own.
My cooking tragedies
The third or fourth time I made the cinnamon rolls, they flopped -- the dough never rose. Other than that, I've been pretty lucky.
