karen learns to cook!

Recently I had an important realization: When I go off to college, I will stab somebody if forced to live on PB+J sandwiches, top ramen, and/or poor cafeteria food. As LuanLegacy says it:

For my whole life my grandmother and father have cooked all of my meals, so I've relied on them to make my food rather than learning to do things myself. But since unless you're Dexter Morgan, "serial killer" doesn't work as an occupation... I figure it's a good idea to teach myself how to cook. Slowly but surely my repertoire has grown - and not gonna lie, I'm quite proud of it.

Egg salad / Egg salad sandwiches
Scrambled eggs
Pancakes

Baked macaroni and cheese

Spaghetti (w/ pesto or pasta sauce)

Poor man's pizza (essentially bread with spaghetti sauce and mozzarella cheese melted on top. admittedly not a meal but... shhh, stop judging me)
Mozzarella sticks

Apple (or peach or nectarine or pear) crisp

Oatmeal/oatmeal raisin cookies
Chocolate chip cookies

Snickerdoodles
Sugar cookies
Peanut butter cookies
Banana bread
Blueberry Muffins
Banana muffins
Biscotti

EGG SALAD.

baked mac + cheese on the left; banana bread on the right

If I wasn't so lazy, I would actually provide pictures of all of the items but for now these'll suffice.
As you can see from the list above, (a) cooking meat still makes me weary for some reason, so I tend to stay away from it (b) I bake more than anything else. So basically I'll just be the fattest sweet-toothed college student you'll meet. But hey, at least it's (slightly) better than eating Burger King or whatever processed food is cheapest at the store! ;)
