I was a latchkey kid growing up and my older sister was not very interested in the kitchen. I had to feed myself, so I started making things that were simple...hamburgers, ground beef and macaroni, chocolate chip cookies, etc. As I got older and moved out on my own, I realized that I had a special talent and would often invite my other single friends over for dinner. They seemed to enjoy it, so I kept at it and I feel like I am constantly improving with each and every dish.
