First Entry!

Hello and welcome to the first entry of College Cooking!

Let me introduce myself to everyone out there.

My name is Jessica and I am currently 22. My birthday is February 21st 1987 and I am in the middle of my junior year at Miami University (of Ohio).

As of this last year or so, I have discovered my love for baking and cooking. I have only taken one cooking class, in high school (just about 4 years ago) and I am always willing to learn more!

Last November, I started a 101 Goals in 1001 Days list and on that list are a few cooking/food related items.

• Finish my recipe book, complete with pictures
• Try 10 New recipes and add to recipe book
• Eat at Red Lobster
• Eat at Cheesecake Factory
• Eat at Chipolte
• Try 10 New Types of Tea

and

• start a blog for my recipes!

So far I have been to Red Lobster, eaten at the Cheesecake Factory (OMG, it was so yummy!) and Chipolte.

I have not tried 10 new types of tea and I have worked slowly on my recipe book.

And this is the first entry for my recipe blog, so I guess it's safe to say that I have started on that!

I need a new way to organize and collect my recipes. Right now I just place them in a 3-ring binder, in page protectors (which comes in very handy!).

Another love of mine is photography, so when I finish a recipe, I take a picture to print out and add to the page. That way I know what it looks like when done!

I believe this is getting quite long enough for my first entry, so let me give you some links!
