I'm a pretty laid back girl. Cooking relaxes me, though I find it difficult to share the kitchen sometimes, haha. I also really love to experiment with my cooking. Other things about me, I am currently working on getting my teaching license and masters degree, I've got a degree in English Literature and a minor in Religious Studies from High Point University...and I've got the love of an amazing family, an amazing man and some amazing friends. What else does a girl need?...Oh yeah, a good glass of wine ;o) I love to bake and make sweets. I adore decorating them. I also love making pasta dishes.I want to spread my wings, though. My lack of spare time makes it hard for me to cook as I wish I could...so, when the time is right I'm going to take on more challenging things. Warm weather cookouts with my family. I'm talking all the fixings. Almost nothing beats a good ol' southern cookout!...And the traditional chocolate covered strawberries I make for Valentine's day...They are so pretty and so yummy! I decided to make a friend of mine a birthday cake and asked her to pick whatever she wanted. Well, she wanted a peanut butter and chocolate cake. I incorporated three types of chocolate, peanut butter chips and cups and a few other tasty things...the cake was a HUGE success...and boy, did it turn out beautiful! I just wish I would've taken a picture, lol. Cheesecake. No matter what I do it curdles. I've thrown my hands up in the air on this one...lol. Another one- Once I told the boyfriend that I was going to make his an amazing Italian meal...well, I ran out of time to made one of those dinners in a bag and then I buried the bag at the bottom of the trash can. He tasted it and was like "you can do so much better than this, what happened?". I just told him I was super rushed (not technically a lie). Later he found the bag in the trash...We shared a good laugh and I still get made fun of for it, haha.
