After we moved to Georgia I didn’t spend a ton of time in the kitchen as I got busy with after school activities, but I did continue to bake off and on. My family always ate dinner together every night unless you had a school or activity commitment. Those meals meant a lot to me over the years and it was nice for everyone to eat together, talk and laugh – the tv was never allowed to be on. Of course now, I eat in front of the tv most of the time.Â
Once I went to college I realized I needed to learn how to cook more things and began to collect cookbooks and recipes. I started off small just trying little things and nothing crazy but I have always been able to follow a recipe pretty well.Â
After college I started cooking more and over the years I realized how much I love cooking. Although, when I was dating someone new I normally said I didn’t cook much, as I never wanted to be with someone who would expect me to cook every meal. I remember growing up with both my Mom and Dad cooking which was nice and is what I want.Â
