Even though I was born in Massachusetts, I have been raised entirely in the South, which means I like my food filling and full of carbs, fats, and sugars. I am super thankful for my genetics, which have gifted me an amazing metabolism. No low fat, diet, or light anything for this cook! I'm married with two kids (three if you count the hubby--and I do), I work full time, and I go to school part time. I still find time to cook, though. I love to bake! If it is sweet, it is bound to be tried in the Krispy Kitchen. Thanksgiving is HUGE. It just doesn't feel like Thanksgiving unless the table bows under the weight of the food. I love making themed birthday cakes. I am excited to see my work getting better with each cake. I also finally mastered the art of stir-frying. I was so proud when I made authentic-tasting fried rice for the first time! Pastry, pastry, pastry. Pastry is something I cannot seem to master no matter how hard I try. Also, French cooking is difficult, partly because I already find it intimidating. I am starting to understand how sugar works in different foods and at different temperatures, but I still make quite a few blunders when preparing candies and poured fondants.
