I am 23 years old and a current college student. I have two huge passions in my life - running and cooking. I guess I'm lucky that my two passions even each other out! I have heard the old saying "don't trust a skinny cook," and I think it is completely false! Granted, some lowfat and fat free cooking does taste poor, but that's all I cook and I assure you I only make good food! People are amazed when I serve something delicious and later tell them it's not as sinful as they may have thought!
My favorite things to cook
Desserts, Italian food, and Mexican food.
My favorite family cooking traditions
My brother and I always used to make this streusel coffee cake. It was always good but I wish I could find something now that compared to that!
My cooking triumphs
I have made the Tiramisu Layer Cake from this website so many times I have lost count and that is not even the fraction of the amount of requests I have gotten for the recipe and the dessert itself! I also get requests for my manicotti and lasanga recipe!
My cooking tragedies
It was french...I should have known that if I couldn't pronounce it I would never be able to make it!
