One of my favorite online recipe sites is http://www.allrecipes.com/. I love that you can read lots of reviews for each recipe, and people usually include what changes they made, and for what reasons. Well, it just got better!
I've frequently longed for a recipe 'database' type of resource, where you can look at what you have for dinner, plug it in to this cool thing, and voila- up come a few different recipes you can make with the ingredients on hand, no trip to the store required. As Heather and I were discussing similar things on the phone (like starting our blogs), I discovered that allrecipes.com HAS this feature. Instead of clicking on 'recipes' on the homepage, you click on 'ingredients' and then you're asked to list some ingredients you want (ie, what you have) and if you choose, you can put in things you don't want. And out comes a selection of recipes, tailored to suit your needs.

Follow my passion?....
Hi. I am having some changes in my life right now, and will become a stay-at-home-mom again in two weeks. A new friend, who happens to be an artist, suggested that I do something I like, creatively, and try to sell it. I told her the only creative and productive thing I do is bake, and she became really excited by this, even though I saw it as a downer (income-making, that is).
Victoria started talking about all sorts of ways I could actually sell what I bake: at farmer's markets, craft fairs, church bazaars. Then as people got familiar with my goods, I could take orders for birthday parties, showers, etc... She said cupcakes are quite the trend these days, and there aren't any good bakeries in the area that sell really good, really FUN cupcakes.
So, here I am, laying the beginning groundwork for actually giving this thing a try.
If anyone has any advice, thoughts, or tips, please feel free to share. I would value any insight.
