I was born and raised a Yankee, but moved down to Tennessee for school nine years ago and am still here! I'm a clinical laboratory scientist who loves pathology, laboratory medicine, genetics, and anything medically out of the ordinary. In my (highly limited) free time, I enjoy baking and trying new recipes... most of my cooking experience is more baking and less cooking "meal" type food. I have a wonderful husband who is more than willing to be the guinea pig for my kitchen adventures, and is quite the cook himself! Cookies, brownies, breads and the like are my area of specialty. But I also like learning new techniques and trying combinations that I wouldn't have thought of. I enjoy taking recipes and working in changes to make them healthier yet still tasty. I make some amazing brownies!
