I'm a full-time student working on my Bachelor's degree in social work. I also have a part-time job. When I actually do have free time, I like to experiment with new recipes. I especially love baking.
I'm 29 and I live in Rochester, NY. I live with my fiance Jeff and my sweet dog Lucky. I have an obsession with cookbooks. Unfortunately, I don't seem to make many recipes out of them, but I really enjoy reading them.
