Cooking is not my strong suit. In fact, I think the only “recipes” I knew before coming to college were for cereal and mac-n-cheese. I did try to make a cake when I was little… but it ended up tasting so bad that I tricked my little sister into eating it. Th is is my third year at Iowa State and I have managed to elude the need to cook until now. I live in west Ames where I fi nd myself without the comfort of a Seasons or a Hawthorn. So, I decided to dive in—head first.
