about me

I am currently in college at UCDAVIS in Davis CA
I have always had a passion for food, cooking, eating, eating mostly ever since i came to college cooking has become more important than ever. With no mama in the kitchen and housemates who's every meal comes from a restaurant or the freezer or the microwave, i became the sole person in charge of my diet. However unlike at home where the cubboards and fridge was always filled with whatever my brothers and I craved, this was not the case, nor would it ever be on a budget of 50$/week. I started to utilize every possible source of how to eat well on a budget, i started to find out what foods were cheap (fresh/frozen produce, in season fruit, grains and legumes) and what was not so cheap (bags of chips, prepared frozen dinners, the entire snack food isle haha) and through this i began creating meals that were not just filling and cheap, but yummy and healthy. I got so good at it that my entire house (thats 5 other people besides me 3 of which are BIG eaters) has grown somewhat dependent on my cooking. I even get called mama sach from time to time.

About me personally, i love the foodnetwork, i love to workout (run, gym, weights, soccer), i am double majoring in Communications and Psychology and i have a passion for life. I grew up in Santa Monica, which is a beach community of LA, and began taking an intrest in cooking at an early age. I love the beach (and miss it since i live 2 hours inland) and the sun. I enjoy a good beer, a good movie, and a good time, especialy with good people!!

Favorite Foods:

Sushi bar none is my favorite, especially unagi, the california role, the spicy tuna role, albacore with ponzu sauce, the dragon role, and the catepillar.
Next would have to be middle eastern food from pitas to lentils, plus feta is my favorite cheese and hummus is my favorite side dish for fresh veggies
Than it would have to be italian food, from sliced bread with garlic and olive oil to fresh linguini del mar or eggplant parma with breaded chicken breast or just your basic zucchini and shroom pasta with olive oil and parma cheese YUM! The list could go on forever since i love trying new foods and pretty much will eat just about anything...however i really can't handle the heat of other countries
