In this day and age everyone is always on the go and lead very busy lives. I know this all too well, between working, going to classes, doing homework, and studying for tests there’s not enough hours in the day. One thing that I like to do is use store bought foods and tweaking them by adding a personal touch to it. One way in which I do this is when I make quesadillas. I like to get store bought rotisserie chicken and some store bought tortillas for a quick and easy meal (look for the recipe in the recipe section of the blog). Using the store bought items and adding some ingredients I have at home gives it a personal touch and I have a meal in the matter of minutes without all of the hassle. Another way that I tweak store bought items is when I make cupcakes. I’m still learning to bake stuff from scratch but for now using the store bought cake mix to make cupcakes will do! Using the box mix allows you to add your own touches to the cupcakes. For example I do this with chocolate cupcakes. Having a plain cupcake with some store bought frosting can get a little boring but this is your chance to let your creative side out. Try using some different toppings, or even tweaking the frosting its self too (look under the recipe section for the recipe that goes along with this tip). The possibilities are endless when it comes to tweaking store bought items; this is your chance to see how creative you can get in the kitchen.
