Throughout my college career, I have never thought of myself as "domestic." Yes, I know how to clean, but that's about the gist of it. I was privileged enough to have wonderful parents who took care of my needs throughout my middle school and high school career, doing things around the house for me, like laundry and cooking, that maybe I should have been learning to do myself (oops). I had a huge eye opening experience the first time I ever did laundry, and was shocked to learn that you did not have to separate every single color of clothing! Thought I finally got the hang of doing laundry, cooking never became an importance to me. My diet consisted of lean cuisines, healthy steamers, and take out, all of which put a large strain on both my bank account and my weight. I soon decided this lack of cooking knowledge would soon have to change. As a little bit of a health nut, I'm shocked it took me this long to want to try out cooking. And when I say cooking, I mean REALLy cooking. Not just scrambled eggs on the stove, or stir-fryed vegetables, but recipes that involve individual trips to the grocery store and multiple calls to my mom for recipe clarification. In just the past few weeks, the ingredients in my spice cabinet and the cooking utensils in my drawers have tripled, and I could not be more excited to test them all out.
This blog will be dedicated to all the timid yet open-minded college girls with a desire to learn to cook, but never seem to find the time or energy to get started. My recipes will most come from magazines, other food blogs, random sources, and the ever beloved Pinterest (my "Yummy Yum Yum" pin board is already slightly ridiculous). My goal is to focus on three things: nutrition, choosing beginner/intermediate type recipes, and affordability. Though I can't promise all the food to be nutritious (I have quite a sweet tooth), I will do my best to post recipes that will be appropriate for any college lady like myself. I hope you all have some faith in me because I sure am going to need it!
Here goes nothing...
