Welcome!

Welcome!

My name's Diana. I'm a biology major who will be going to optometry school next fall! :) I've always been really interested in cooking since I have a mom who cooks everyday. Most of my cooking skills have been picked up over the years of observing her casually whenever she prepares dinner for our family. I've become really into cooking and baking ever since I stopped having a meal plan at my university. I thought to myself, "why keep eating unhealthy, huge portioned food made from the college cafeteria that serves it at such a high price when I can make myself a nice healthy, hearty meal at a decent price?" Ok, maybe not ALL of my dishes are healthy but at least I know what ingredients I use and whether the meat/vegetables I use are fresh or not.

I also love deserts and sweets! They are to die for. I love deserts that are presented in such a beautiful and elegant way. Most people must think I'm crazy for constantly taking pictures of food, but I'm truly inspired by the way some restaurants and chefs present their food.

Cooking is something that I feel can be done using common sense, but baking is a whole different story. There is an art to both cooking and baking, but right now, I aspire to improve my artistic side for baking.

I hope that this blog will inspire you to try out new recipes and I hope you will enjoy them as much as I do :)
