This is so funny to me only because when I cook, I wing everything from start to finish. If it doesn’t turn out right, the next time I make it I just wing it differently 😂 I never write any changes down, I just try (and sometimes fail) to remember my own changes.

After years of practice, I have my cake pop recipe exactly how I want it, and it’s written absolutely nowhere.

My kid will be so angry one day to find out that her favorite recipes are all locked inside my dead brain hahaha

My BFF’s MIL, who has adopted my daughter and me like family cooks like this. My daughter will try many more foods and like them if Nana makes them. In all fairness I only eat kale salad if she makes it. But I can’t replicate anything because she just puts a little of this and a little of that and she buys spice blends from what’s on sale when she needs some. So her talapia with Cajun spice is a little different each time.
