Robyn's Cookin'

about me

I never realized how easy it is to create restaraunt-quality dishes at home until I lived with my grandparents over one of my summer breaks from college. As soon as I got my first apartment (a year and a half later), I started cooking and have been addicted ever since! I like to challenge myself with new ingredients and techniques. I'm big on research, and will spend hours learning the "how to's" of new ideas ahead of time, because there's nothing more depressing than making a disappointing meal!

I've taken it upon myself to be in charge of Thanksgiving dinner for the past 5 years (I'm 27 now)...I enjoy the challenge, and think I put together a pretty darn good spread!

My boyfriend and I both LOVE good food, but although we won't deny ourselves some wings and a beer now and again, we try to eat pretty healthfully on a day-to-day basis.

Favorite Foods:

Appetizers are always my favorite to cook and eat. Not much of a dessert / sweets eater, thankfully.

My boyfriend and I both love veggies, but neither of us are big fans of fruit. This works out well when deciding what to make for dinner, but I'd like to try and incorporate some fruits, for health reasons.

Italian and Mexican tend to be my favorite meals. I enjoy the challenge of coming up with healthy-but flavorful-alternatives to the traditional Italian and Mexican fare!

We love pretty much anything cooked at home on the grill.
