Even though I grew up in a house full of great cooks, it wasn’t until recently that I began to get creative in the kitchen.  Like so many things in life, I realized that it’s better to try something out and fail than to never try at all.  I slowly started to tweek recipes and found myself creating really yummy meals and treats – all on my very own!  Whether it’s a simple substitution like whole wheat for white flour, applesauce for oil, or chicken for beef, I realized how much fun it is to make my own recipe.  I will post some of my favorites here.  Please let me know if you try something out!
