About this Cook
I am 22 years old. I am engaged to my best friend and we will get married when I graduate from nursing school. I have a lot of hobbies, but cooking is definitely my favorite.
My favorite things to cook
I love to cook desserts, especially pies and cookies.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Well I'm from the south, and traditionally southern cooking is fried and seasoned with grease. I love southern food, but not the way it is prepared, so I take all of my favorite southern food and make them healthy. I dont even own a fryer, and I use Goya to season my vegetables.
My cooking triumphs
I make the best cheesecake ever!
My cooking tragedies
My fiance and I went to our favorite restaurant for Valentine's Day one year, and he ordered the most amazing butternut squash ravioli that we have ever tasted. We went back a few more times, but it wasn't on the menu. That ravioli was all he could talk about, so I found a recipe on the internet that I thought sounded pretty similar. I got off work early, bought the ingredients, and started cooking. I made the pasta from scratch and everything. Everything was going great until I got to the sauce. I followed the directions perfectly, but it was watery and tasted awful. I spent five hours making the ravioli and it tasted so bad I almost threw it away. My fiance was grateful, and years late still tells me how sweet it was, but that was by far the nastiest thing I have ever cooked in my life.

Homemade Black Bean Veggie Burgers
You don't have to be vegetarian to love these burgers! They are a little messy because they don't hold together as well as a regular burger, but they are really yummy!

Cheddar Bay Biscuits
These were pretty good as is, but next time I will use either frozen or canned biscuits and just use the topping for this recipe. I wasn't a huge fan of the taste of the actual biscuit, but the topping was very tasty.

Guacamole
best guacamole ever! I add chopped pickled jalapenos for an extra kick. 1 batch of this lasts about 15 minutes in my house. So good!
