about me

I am an active lady in my late 20s, and I am not the top chef in the world, but I can hold my own. I love making things that remind me of when I was little, and I love learning new things to cook (oh, and I almost ALWAYS make my own little tweaks to recipes I learn....I can't help it)!

I love to bake, probably more than anything else in the kitchen. I always volunteer to bring desserts to family gatherings, but that plan was foiled with all this new-fangled "healthy eating" talk. Now I am forced to find low-fat, less-sugar, lightened-up, gluten-free, lactose-free, no-egg versions of the traditional chocolate chip cookie. All I ask is to continue to enable the obesity "epidemic" by feeding people one homemade fatty cookie or one slice of creamy cheesecake at a time.
Okay, I know I must've made at least 3 enemies just then....probably all doctors. Hehe...

Moving right along...I would've gone to culinary school to be a pastry chef if I didn't have the job I do now. I love baking difficult things that take a lot of time. It's so flattering and such an accomplishment when something you have created from sugar, eggs, etc. draws "oohhh"s and "ahhh"s.

I love RecipeZaar...for the members, the reviews, the wonderful recipes, the inspirational ideas, and the forums (especially the Cooking Q & A). I think it is so cool that it is worldwide (as I guess the Internet, in general, is....duh...), and I think THAT is awesome because it allows for varied ethnic foods to be presented that I would not have otherwise known about. I have learned so much about cooking (and foodie history, even!) from people here, and my husband actually jokingly called me Betty Crocker the other day - though I don't know if that's a good thing or what....

I live in the beautiful state of Colorado, and we love to bike ride. I like to read, go for walks with my husband, hang out with friends, play pool, play video games (especially Rock Band 1 or 2).... all that stuff we kids do.

It would probably be easier to say what I don't like...
