I've been cooking since I was little with my mom. I even got my first cook book when I was about 5...still have it, still use it! Within the past few years, I've gotten a lot more into cooking and absolutely love it! I now have a million and a half recipes, dozens of cookbooks, and a lot of great cooking sites bookmarked online so I'm never without something to cook. When I was younger, baking was my favorite thing to do. Now that I'm older, I enjoy making actual meals. I love Thai, Italian, any pasta dish, and...well, just about everything and anything! (Except seafood...) I love cooking with my mom around the holidays. I hope to be good as she is someday! I make a mean Beef Stroganoff!! =) And, I have a pretty good "Peanut Butter Cup" Cake that I make on birthdays! There was this one pie I tried to make once...it never quite thickened and instead turned into a soupy mess!
