Come and join the fun and get some great ideas for what will satisfy your own taste. This can be recipes, how-to ideas, kitchenware and cook books. I have tried to direct you to some of the best recipe sites for you to peruse and get to enjoy their ideas.

THIS IS WHERE IT ALL BEGINS! 

______________________________________________

There is a recipe for everything. I want to share with you sites that I have come to love to visit for their daily recipes. The whole idea is to get involved with cooking what you like and have fun doing it .
Come and visit Granny's Tasties#2 which is my take on food topics and recipes that I have made. Look in the right margin for sites to visit that are a wealth of information. I try to write something that fits the season or holiday or a topic that will give folks what is happening on the internet.
NOTE:
Granny's Tasties #2

COOKING TIPS AND HINTS OF THE DAY 

SOMETHING YOU NEED TO KNOW

HOW do you substitute unsalted butter or salted butter? Today I found the answer I have been looking for when it comes to how do you substitute unsalted butter and vice versa when baking. Here is the rule according to Chefs Cary and Kevin @ CHEFSLINE. When recipes are written with just "butter," and do not specifiy salted or unsalted, you want always to use unsalted butter. As a general rule, most professionally developed recipes call for unsalted butter. When baking a cake, you will usually get the best results by including salt as an ingredient. If your recipe does not include salt as an ingredient, or if your recipe calls for salted butter and you are using unsalted butter, then you should add salt to your dry ingredients. Use 1/4 tsp of salt for a 1 stick of butter recipe and 1/2 tsp. of salt for a 2 stick of butter recipe. Mix the salt with your dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, cornstarch - again, it depends on your recipe) and you'll be good to go.You want to use salt in your baking for flavor, to control leavening, and generally, you just won't get the best results on these two fronts when you bake with salted butter.
