Here we go....

I am one of those types of self-made cooks who will look at a recipe once and create my own version.  Not everyone has a beautifully stocked pantry as we are told we should, and we need to make substiutions... that is the premise for my basic cooking abilities.

I like to mix and match, trade in & out and create each time I cook.  I began doing this a long time ago.... my poor husband has had many creations (good and bad) which will never be made again because I was not writing them down.  So I started to jot down these created recipes in a small notebook (see below) when they were given the approval of my family and friends.... One day I hope to publish The Impromptu Cook.

But for now, I will share my recipes, gardening ideas, and heck just random ramblings with you here until that time....

Thank you for reading my blog.... Cathi
