I never bothered to fill out this section and since I visit this site SO OFTEN I figured I should. I love to cook but being a college student cooking for myself, I sometimes find it hard to come up with new dishes to try. I love to cook though, enjoy entertaining others, hosting parties and baking (especially at Christmas time!).
