I like to think I'm trying new things, making things for cheaper than I would buy them, as well as becoming more natural with fewer strange ingredients. My roommates would probably classify it as crazy. I have loved experimenting with all these recipes, though, and they've turned out great. I may be crazy, but at least I'm crazy and undeterred. Give one a try and let me know what you think.
