<p>I just love to twist recipes into my own. Using some frozen, some fresh and some boxed items from the pantry. I have to cook fast and its so easy to sub things with what you have already! I have found and cooked some wonderful things, but there has always one or two things I would change, so I have...and I would love to share them with others! <br /> <br />Yum Yum Yum!</p>
