I was raised with good food and I am genuinely lucky to come from a family of foodies. I enjoy frequenting restaurants and I love cooking for my friends and family as well as learning new tips and tricks. As a student I am on a bit of a budget at times but that is a fun challenge.
My boyfriend loves chocolate chip cookies and is a great person to try new dishes on-if only he would eat more veggies! My roommate appreciates living with a cook and is a great critic.
I work at a Starbucks and it is a great place, I love the environment and meeting new people!
