I graduated from ISU in May 2005 with a BS in Information Systems. Now I'm an internal consultant for AT&T's IT department while getting an MS in Software Engineering from DePaul. I cook for myself, mostly. I like to try new things that I see on TV or hear about.
My favorite things to cook
I love to cook pasta. There's so much you can do with it. All types of proteins can be added. I also like to explore my creative side with pizzas. While dieting, I discovered that pitas make excellent crusts for a 1-serving pizza. Since I eat alone 90% of the time, that really works out for me. Then you can add any toppings you find appealing that day, or whatever is on sale in the produce dept.
My favorite family cooking traditions
cooking/baking with my grandma or my mom
My cooking triumphs
This lemon herb chicken that I saw on TV on the show Boiling Water. It was REALLY good with my Amie's Lemon Rice. :)
My cooking tragedies
One of the recipes I found on here with a chicken mushroom sauce. It was awful. Way too much paprika and pepper. I had to throw the whole thing out.
