Yum!

I didn't get into YouTube until I began dating my ex. We were on the road all the time. While we were on the road, I'd find myself alone for 6-10 hours at a time. With absolutely nothing to do. I got into YouTube. I watched all sorts of videos. Makeup, hair, cooking, hilarious, vlogs, you name it. I watched it!

During this same time, I wanted to learn how to cook. I wanted to at least be able to cook something, for the man I was dating. Did I mention I had no clue how to cook. None! I had moved out of my parents' house, into an apartment with my friends. I bought the groceries, they cooked. I got good at cleaning up too. But I couldn't cook to save my life!

That's until I found Betty. She had some good videos. Lots of different recipes. Not just desserts. All sorts of food. I watched. I took notes. I made lists. I called my bestie. Then I ventured out. The first few times were horrible. I burned the dinner twice, I almost killed us once (the chicken wasn't all the way cooked,) and I just gave up, half way through another meal. But I was determined to cook at least 3 dinners a week.

I continued to watch Betty. I learned. I enjoyed all of her videos. And the easy way of her cooking. When I was single again, I tried it all. I'd try all sorts of recipes. I'd add in Betty's recipes to the mix. It was wonderful! Thanks Betty! You made me a cook. And I'm very happy about that.

This recipe, I want to try it out. Doesn't it look yummy? All I want to do, is make this Dirt Cake. Yes, Betty is also responsible for me gaining a few healthy pounds. But at the time, I was pregnant. I think that was a good deal.
