I'm a twentysomething that has been cooking anything and everything, since I was in elementary school. I was blessed with parents who cook, believe in the family table, and can't wait to do the same for my family.
<br>
<br>I am currently self-employed and plan on going back to school in the fall. Even with all that going on, I find time to cook because it beats the heck out of campus food!
<br>
<br>I'm passionate about education, animals, and cooking. I believe all three can be combined, but so far, the only results I have witnessed is a begging dog at the table. Haha!

<br>My favorite part about cooking is the satisfaction of meeting one of life's most basic needs. Not only meeting that need, but satisfying the soul! And I REALLY love the fact that if I cook, my sweet man cleans!
