Hobbies:
I'm a college student, about to graduate in the spring. I try and cook as much as possible for myself and for the most part I cook fairly healthy food but of course I enjoy almost anything. I went through a stage of being a vegetarian for awhile when I was in high school but I still don't really know why. I've worked for the most part in restaurants as a waitress so I'm around food a lot. :)Oh I'm also addicted to the food network!
My favorite things to cook
hmm seafood since I love it. I also cook a lot of chicken in a million different ways just to try and keep it interesting. I like to bake here and there as well. I'm still learning a lot though!
My favorite family cooking traditions
my dad is really the one who has taught me a lot about cooking and has gotten me interested in it. he owned a restaurant before I was born and always loves to entertain people. The biggest cooking tradition in my family is our New Year's Day. My dad is german and for the past 60 or so years we have a new years day dinner with traditional German food such as sauerbraten, potato dumplings, potato pancakes and sweet and sour cabbage. My whole family comes to celebrate and eventually the tradition will pass over to me so I have been learning a lot about it.
My cooking triumphs
I make a pretty good cheesecake plus all of my friends are impressed with how much I know about cooking.
My cooking tragedies
too many too count haha...I often just try and make stuff up and sometimes it works, other times not so much lol
