I grew up cooking. I remember being in the kitchen when I was very young, maybe 5 or younger. I was taught by the worlds best cook! My grandmother. It skipped a generation though. My mother is not the best cook(love ya mom.) I love to bake! I don't do so well with pies, but pretty much everything else I'm fine with. I love to bake unique items and get that 'wow' look from people. I love baking the barbie doll cakes, anything for kids really. I also love to fix a great stir-fry. I pretty much get whatever is freshiest at my local farmers market and cook a great stir-fry. Going to my grandmothers for Thanksgiving. I look forward to the fruit salad every year!
