about me

I am a recent college grad living in the DC metro area. I never cooked too often before living on my own (and BUDGETING!) so I am fairly new in the kitchen, but I am enjoying it a lot more than I expected. It's a nice feeling to eat something you've created. It doesn't hurt that everyone on here has been so nice!

I currently work at a nonprofit association but am from NYC originally, so I love getting to explore a new city. I really enjoy traveling. I spent a semester in Madrid and was able to travel (and eat) around Europe, and I can't wait to go back. In my free time, I like to read, work out and follow the news — I'm a big media junkie. I watch TV shows like The Office, Lost and Heroes religiously. And now that I have joined Zaar, I spend way too much time finding recipes and building cookbooks!

Favorite Foods:

I looove to eat, so I have lots of favorites. I am a big fan of appetizer-type foods like potato skins, mozzarella sticks and wings...actually, anything cheesy, especially with a cold beer! I love Asian, especially noodles, and really like Indian food because it has so much flavor. I used to be scared of making it, but I have tried a few easier recipes here on Zaar, and am loving it! I could probably live off pizza — no fancy ones, just plain cheese or pepperoni. I really like Greek food and I do like Italian, but I have to be in the mood for the creamy-style dishes. I do think I've become a more adventurous eater since I started cooking.

I can't stand bland food, so I love trying anything SPICY and I add red pepper flakes to pretty much everything. Also, after several attempts, I can officially say I do not like pesto. I am usually cooking for just myself so I halve recipes often, unless my boyfriend is around... he is a firefighter and will eat lots of anything!

If I rate things, it will usually be a four or five star review. For the most part, I can usually tell if I will like something before I make it by the ingredients listed.
