Life Motto: "Well behaved women rarely make history" - Laurel Thatcher Ulrich

Name: Veronica Kae

Age: 22

After birth in sunny California, my parents decided by the time I turned three years old that it wasn't the place they wanted to raise a child. Off we went to central Illinois where my father was raised. Ever since then, I've lived in the small towns and lived a country lifestyle with a city attitude. I love to write, about anything and everything. I love my pets, every last one of them. I have a dog (Luigi), another dog (Ollie), a bearded dragon (Morbo), a guinea pig (Wrigley) and four fish tanks. I'm currently attending junior college, until I can afford to attend university. I've been trying to write about twelve different novels since I was 10 and never seem to decide to go too terribly far with any of them.I've changed my aspirations and major a thousand times and finally seemed to have settled on environmental science. I plan to transfer soon to a different university. I also began my Mary Kay business in February 2009 and am loving every minute of it!

As a college student who's always lived off campus, I've had to build upon my skills in the kitchen and at the grocery store. When I lived alone, it was much easier to accommodate my single living needs. The problem is, however, that you start to believe that fast food is cheap and easy and good. The further you continue that routine, the worse your body will react. So, when my boyfriend and I decided to live together and commute to college, I knew it was time to get back into the kitchen. Unlike many college students, I had a pretty basic knowledge of cooking already. Many students enter ...
