I am a student at Michigan State University, and contrary to most college students, I love to cook! I am newly married, and my husband loves to help me in the kitchen (ie clean up after me). It's a nice way to spend time together after a long day of work and school. We both love experimenting with food and ingredients, it's a fun surprise every time!
