I read a recent article on MSNBC about common mistakes people make when following recipes. I have said it before and I will most definitely say it again: I am not a cook. I haven’t let that little teensy, weensy fact stop me from bravely attempting numerous recipes- some of which come out better than others.

All of the tips,  which included suggestions like “Don’t Overheat” and “Read the recipe” were pretty straightforward. However, that doesn’t mean that I necessarily agreed with everything the writer suggested, especially the tip, “Do not substitute.” Maybe it works in most cases, but when I make muffins, which are my specialty, the substitutions are what makes the muffins delicious.
