I'm a Mother, a Girlfriend, a Best Friend, a College Student, a Chef, an Army Combat Vet, a Friend, a Minster, the Illusive 'Girl Gamer'. I love cooking for my friends and family, because I know that they appricate it. I have degrees in Culinary, but what makes me a "Chef" is the time and sweat spent in the professional kitchens. I love Japanese everything! I'm from an Italian family, so cooking anything is a family tradition. From the Red Velvet Cake we only get on our birthdays to the nut rolls and pitzells at Yule to the homemade pasta for Sunday supper it's all a family affair. The looks on my family's faces at the dinner table. Before I learned to truely cook I burned Jell-o... yea, Jell-o
