Let the cooking begin...


I grew up in a household where a delicious, home-cooked meal was prepared every night by my lovely mother who is a stay-at-home-mom. She is a wonderful, country cook. Because of her, I have been inspired to be just as skilled as she is in the kitchen, and hopefully one day have a family that I can provide scrumptious meals for every night.

I am starting this blog in order to broaden my horizons as a cook. I am the "baby" of a family of six, so I never really took the opportunity to get in the kitchen to start exploring. I had never really cooked my own meals until about a year ago when I first moved out of the college dorms and into an apartment where I had my own kitchen to get creative in. Over the past year, I have become familiar with how the appliances in a kitchen work, how to follow a recipe and even how to create my own concoctions that seem to please the taste buds of those who have tried them:) I am by no means a master chef, but I really hope I can continue to get even better through practice this year. I'm a senior at North Carolina State University, and I want to challenge myself to create new "masterpieces" before I graduate.
