A New Blog Site

Ever since we've moved to the UK I have really missed some our favorite American ingredients.  There are a few options to get some products: load up your suitcases with food or bribe a family member/friend to load up their suitcases for you when you come over from the States (I'd rather load up on other things that security doesn't have to drug test in my bags), you can have people ship you things but that is atrociously expensive, you could order things on Skyco.co.uk or Americansoda.com, but those are pretty expensive as well and they are usually non-perishable items.  If you are really lucky you can find someone who lives on the Airforce base who can buy you American products at American prices, but that is pretty tough.  I finally came up with the philosophy that "If you can't buy it, make it yourself."

I have created a lot of "homemade" things since I moved here 18 months ago and I like them almost better than the purchased things.  I've also learned how to make a lot of new recipes from scratch so that I can re-create them anywhere we live.  So what I have done is created a totally different blog site that I can dedicate to recipes and other do-it-yourself projects to share with the masses.  My goal is to try a new recipe or project each week so check it out and let me know what you think.

Can't Buy It? Make it!
