Naturally Curious: DIY Cooking & Crafting Adventures/Experiments & more...

Hi! Here, you will see my successes and epic fails when I try recipes or crafts -- with tips & shortcuts and more. Hopefully, I'll go from: "We are good at this?" to "We are good at this!"

A little more about me. I'm a dabbler in cooking and arts&crafts. Sometimes I do not have the skills to match my aspirations. I'm an avid watcher of the Food Network and HGTV because it makes me feel like I accomplished something and was a part of the cooking or home renovation. I also love watching sped-up cooking videos. When I try recipes or arts&crafts, I hate buying lots of ingredients or equipment that I may use only for that recipe or arts/craft project, so I try to simplify things. I will also give any other tips&tricks or musings I may have.
