I do. :) I'm a bit of a whirlwind in the kitchen. Haha. I watch FoodNetwork 90% of the time, so I get a lot of ideas. I particularly like kind of just throwing things together. My tastes are pretty particular, if I want something I'll make it, even if it's not a real "dish."
For example: one of my all time favorite snacks is just a sliced up tomato with lemon juice and a handful of parmesan. Lol. It's not even a properly put together "snack", and some might shudder at the sight of it, but it strikes my tastebuds the way I want.
I also just reinvented some tomato soup. Because plain ol' Campbell's tomato soup is so.. well, average. So I added a bunch of stuff to it (paprika, garlic powder cuz no fresh garlic waaa, diced tomatoes, basil, and some sauteed onions and BACON). It's amazing. Seriously. Doesn't event taste canned anymore, I'm so happy lol.
Anyway. Yeah. Do you guys like the kitchen? Baking, gormet, PB&J, doesn't matter. What are your favorite foods and recipes?

I cannot cook for the life of me. If it's premade, add in milk or whatever to boil, that's about it. :P My family never cooked so I was never taught how or ate proper meals. It was commonly t.v dinners for us or whatever is around the house that you can make. I'm slowly learning to branch out and create things from my work and that array of food offered to allow experimentation. That's about it...
My mom always cooked homemade meals every night. She's where a lot of my skill/inspiration comes from. She taught me how to do a few things. Baking is what I really excel at though. I've been baking since I was old enough to reach the counter and stir things, haha. I just needed an adult to put it in the oven for me. xP My granny always made pumpkin pies with me especially, and I my favorite "toys" as a child were the pots and pans, haha. So I've been in the kitchen since I was barely toddling around.
