I am 30, have a 7 yr old son, and have been dating my sweetie for 5 yrs. We have 2 dogs, Lily and Nola, and they are spoiled rotten! Cooking is like therapy to me, I love coming home at the end of the day and cooking something w/ my son and boyfriend and just enjoying time with them. We love to grill/smoke! You name it, and we've tried grilling/smoking it. Pasta is something I have cooked since I was 12, and have mastered several recipes. Mexican, any kind of chicken, and anything I can throw in the crock pot! I love cooking at the end of the day or even throwing it all in a crockpot and just letting it do it's own thing. It's still better than going out to eat! My parents made me start taking care of one meal a week when I was 12. It didn't matter if it was sandwiches, soup, salad, or pasta, but I was in charge from start to finish, and because of that, and the fact that I was the only cook in the family for about 2 months when I was 13, because my mom had Mono, I have learned to really enjoy cooking. I also STILL, at 30 yrs old, LOVE to watch my Grandma cook, she teaches me something every time I am in the kitchen with her! Being able to impress my Grandma with my cooking is a HUGE triumph! She is amazing in the kitchen! A particular crock pot chicken recipe. I've never thrown food out, but when I came home and smelled that it almost made me sick...it went right down the disposal!
