I am 23 years old, and just recently have I really got into cooking. It quickly became something I can't get enough of. I work at a health food and supplement store, so im glad to be so crazy about my health at such a young age. I feel I can make serious changes to my future by changing my diet NOW. I am an outgoing person with a love for tattoos, video games and my boyfriend. With the love of my boyfriend, Blake, comes the love for cooking Asian food. He is 1/2 Japanese and 1/2 American so he loves EVERYTHING. I would have to say my VERY favorite thing to cook is vegetables. I know, sounds lame, but they really are the best things for us and I love every single one of them. So why not eat them ALL the time!? My mom was a single mom with three children, two of which were twins, and a full time job (High Five MOM!). So I have very few memories of my mom and I actually cooking together, but thats what makes the ones I do have so much more special. I always helped with Holidays. Being a single mom, when we did holidays at our house, she was on her own. I hope I helped her then, but im so happy for how much I can help her now. I guess the fact that she married a chef does help a little too ;) Like I said, I just in this last year started cooking ALL the time. So honestly, anything that comes out great is a triumph for me. No lie, I still get overwhelmed with excitement just having a fantastic meal that I made! I'm not a great baker...Baking alone is sort of at tragedy at the moment.
