I am a 24 year old single mom. I love to entertain and cook for family and friends. When I was a child, I used to cook and bake constantly, everyone was always having to try my new foods. When I started cooking for my ex-husband, I realized that the flair for cooking was still there! Now that I'm no longer married, I can go to the grocery store daily :) Every night I find another excuse to make something new, constantly searching www.allrecipes.com for exciting new recipes. I love to cook with vegetables because they give foods such color. If I cook food, it has to be PRETTY! I love sauteeing for stir frys and other dishes. Mexican has to be one of my favorite things to cook because my husband can't live without it. I enjoy pastas and meats and.. well.. I guess I enjoy cooking with everything!!! I have never had anything I cooked turn out bad, except for one time (listed under tragedies) -- I have accomplished cooking the most outlandish of dishes, with the strangest combination of ingredients, even throwing in some of my own! And it always comes out yummy! I was probably 11 years old, I was baking homemade apple muffins if I remember correctly. I either was supposed to put in baking powder and put in baking soda, or visa versa, but it turned out terrible!! I was handing out the muffins to my family, and of course they ate them slowly.... Later I tasted one and found out how incredibly BITTER they were!! I was so embarassed and so apologetic. :)
