Get creative!!

Many recipes had been already created, what we call: the classic recipes; but it has never happened to you, at the last minute when you are cooking them, to realize that you are missing an ingredient? or for many years always mixing certain ingredients always the same way, again and again? This makes our cooking journal boring and monotonous. Cooking should be something fun to do and we should always enjoy it..so why not experiment a little bit? Why not have fun and create new stuff? I always like to recommend this to my friends:

Let your imagination fly, GET INSPIRED!!

...how do you think the great chefs do? I enjoy so much attending to farmer's market, because it gives me the great opportunity to hear from you the wonderful dishes you are creating at home with A&A products, and what I enjoy the most is when I hear dishes that I would never have imagined and that you encourage me to make them because they turned out so yummy, and to tell you the truth..I have tried most of them at home..and they are really wonderful!

So always remember not be afraid while cooking, take risks, that's how new recipes born!!

Here are some few tips that I would like to share with you today, especially with many of you that had asked me for, on how to use A&A Italian Seasoning Blends, hoping that you will enjoy them as much as I do!
