RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Well, I'm a freshman going to college studying for a major in history and a minor in teaching... and my recipes will probably reflect that, being a 'starving college student' and all. I love making deserts, that's what I'm best at. My fiancee likes making healthy dishes so our motto is, 'He'll cook to keep us healthy and I'll cook to keep us happy'
