I'm a college student in beautiful Santa Cruz. I first began cooking during my childhood in the boondocks of northern California. It started with "Darrel's Forget the Cookies-Just Give Me That Batter!" chocolate chip cookie recipe and it hasn't ended yet. I was inspired by the food blogs I read online and thought it would be fun to start my own. Note: I am not nor have I ever been a professional chef. I am not in culinary school. This is real food. I'm not going to make the fanciest things, but I am going to make things that taste good. I cook as a hobby. I cook for myself, and occasionally for my family and friends. So here I am, sharing my cooking experiences.
