My name is Mishiko, and I live in San Luis Obisbo, California with my brother and parents. My favorite things to do are running, biking, sketching, and, of course, cooking. I am a vegitarian, and many people wonder how I live without meat. The answer: beans, yougurt, peanut butter, egg, etc. I don't remember why I started cooking, but I found out about allrecipes because I was looking for a recipe for a low fat, milk free cake. My favorite things to cook are desserts, breakfast foods, and fried foods. My griddle is slanted, so sometimes my omlettes and pancakes turn out funny, but I'm getting better every day. The day we set up our Christmas tree, we always bake gingerbread for dessert, and eat finger foods for supper. I invented my first recipe last year. A friend and I were going to fix breakfast for my family, but we couldn't find the right recipe. My friend suggested that we invent our own. We used a recipe from a cookbook to "guide" us, and that's how peanut butter muffin bars came to be!
