Cooking has been a passion of mine since I was old enough to use the toaster! :) Some of the fondest memories of my childhood include moments with my mother or grandmother in the kitchen. Until now, cooking has been more of a hobby of mine but in a few short months, I will be following my dreams all of the way to culinary school! Since becoming a mother, my favorite things to cook have gone from elegant, impressive dinners to delicious and nutritious meals for my child. HOWEVER, when I get the opportunity to cook for entertainment purposes, I'm always up for trying anything that looks fun and exciting! I started cooking with my Grandmother when I was young - some of my favorite memories include the two of us making ourselves sick from eating cookie dough! Some of my biggest triumphs have been things such as making a non-traditional Thanksgiving dinner for 30 people, hosting an elegant NYE dinner party, and also coming up with some of my very own beloved recipes. I feel that I'm really coming into my own and that in and of itself is a triumph for me :) I once tried to surprise my hubby with his favorite breakfast; eggs Benedict. He's not a picky eater, but needless to say it made its way to the garbage with less than one bite taken out of it! It was vomit-inducing! (it had somehow curdled... I haven't tried it since!)
