My Online CookBook

Ok, I like to bake, you got a problem with that! Ok there now that I've sufficiently defended my male ego I'll explain my little online cookbook here. Like I said I like to bake, it relieves stress for me. So does lifting, but if I'm really stressed I tend to hurt myself when I lift because I strain to hard.

My grandmother has given me some recipes to suppliment my Betty Crocker regulars. But as I am the most unorganized bastard on the eastern seaboard, it is only a matter of time before I lose the little blue note cards I have them written on. So the way I figure it if I put them online then I can never lose them. Pretty smart huh?
