For the next 52 weeks, I have challenged myself to complete 1 craft project and to cook 1 new recipe a week. Throughout this year, I will document the ups
, downs
, whoops
, and wows
. I can guarantee there will be flops and maybe a few good laughs. I am an amateur, I like to cook, but don’t do it on a regular basis.
Something you should know, I like to use recipes, but substitute for things I don’t have. Being Italian, I need garlic (powder, salt, minced) in almost every (savory) dish. Also, I will measure ingredients as directed in a recipe, but my feeling is a little more or less won’t hurt. (Except for flour in cookies, that wasn’t good.) You will not see me on a cooking show anytime soon, I promise you that!
Craftsy.com also offers baking, cooking, and cake decorating tutorials. I find my recipes in the many cookbooks I own (and never use) or friends, family and of course Google.
I hope you enjoy my journey through cooking this year. Don’t forget to comment and share your recipes and stories.
