This fall I will be living in an off campus apartment for the first time. Of course I am very excited about this, but I do have some concerns. This week I have put one of my biggest concerns to bed. I was scared because I know was not going to buy a meal plan and I only know how to cook steak and pasta. So I decided to look up a bunch of recipes and cook every night this week. Tonight I made Pasta Carbonara and it was one of the most delicious homecooked meals I have had. I got the recipe off of the Food Networks website and I highly recommed it. I thought that cooking would be a difficult task, but I loved the experience. I was blasting music and after this I feel as long as you follow the diretions you can't mess up. I also recentley took two cooking books from the library of the apartment complex I work at, so I am looking forward to trying out Indian cuisine and Asian cuisine in the up coming days. The main reason That I have for posting this is to ask what are your favorite recipes, so I can start building up my collection?

I lived in my first apartment off campus this year and let me tell you...it's pretty amazing. I loved living with just me and roommate. I finally feel like I'm living like an adult. There's a certain freedom that comes with having your own apartment, and I wouldn't trade that freedom for anything! Cooking was one of my concerns also! I was so used to just swinging by the cafeteria and picking up "already prepared food". I'm a terrible cook. To be honest, I barely manage! If it wasn't for my roommate I don't what I eat for dinner somedays. Don't get me wrong I would LOVE to learn how to cook and I plan on learning how to cook this summer! Like you I have been looking for recipes to try out! Here's one that is so good...SO GOOD. I like staying true to my Mexican roots every now and then and this is perfect. Enjoy :)
