Pancakes and Chocolate Chip Cookies

Why pancakes and chocolate chip cookies? I can answer that.

My name is Rebekah, and for as long as I can remember, I've been making pancakes and chocolate chip cookies. In fact that was how my mom introduced me to cooking/baking, and I am deeply in her debt. What started out as a mother's desire to teach her daughter how to cook before she grew up and inevitably left home, has turned into a hobby, or as I think of it, a fascination with food.

I'm no food connoisseur, or critic. I'm just a college student who will gladly spend 20+ minutes preparing my "brown bag lunch" for the next day, because every meal is special and should be made with love. I make/bake/cook food because I like to, actually because I love to. In fact I think I like to make the food more then I like to eat it, though the margin is small indeed! I find food to be an expression of who people are, and one of my favourite ways to get to know a person is to eat and/or make food with them.

This year I have resolved to acknowledge how much food means to me, explore new recipes, and take pictures of food. So three cheers for pancakes and chocolate chip cookies! :)
