The first thing I remember cooking regularly all by myself was blueberry pancakes.
I had a friend (who has since passed away) who started calling me “Pancake” because of how often I was making—and absolutely destroying—blueberry pancakes during high school.
He actually called me **Emo Pancake**.
But honestly, that was just the era. Black eyeliner, questionable hair choices, bright colors, MySpace, checkered everything… We really thought we were doing something. What a time to be alive.
Anyway, blueberry pancakes were the first thing I remember cooking on my own, and I made them CONSTANTLY.
Now I’m curious: **what’s the first thing you remember cooking by yourself?**

Well, I’m guessing nachos don’t count.
It was French toast. Good Housekeeping had a children’s cookbook my grandma got for my sister and me. So, when I was ten, I decided to make my mom breakfast in bed, and everyone always talked about that being the ideal breakfast food. I used the cookbook, and it turned out pretty well.
