Seldom do I find the time to get creative in the kitchen. The rare availability of reliable recipes doesn’t make it any easier. I’m on a constant prowl for unconventional recipes and one such hunt brought me to Home Cooked.
I tried out several recipes from her blog and they all turned out to be sumptuous! I crowned her my Recipe Fairy Godmother and the rest is history written on pages of Blog Friendship!
I’ve known Homey for almost a year now, and she is as creative as her fondant cake, warm as her savoury cheese scones and sweet as her chocolate chip cookies!
We live on separate continents and have never met, but we do tend to paint a picture of people in our minds. My best creative expression is through crochet. So here’s my rendition of Homey and her talent!

One of the many yummy dishes she’s made – Chocolate Chip Cookies!

These cookies are zero calories! But if you don’t mind indulging, try out Homey’s version of crunchy Chocolate Chip Cookies!
Thanks for all the wonderful inspiration Homey, and most of all, thanks for a warm friendship! I’m sure you’ll have many more awesome recipes ahead!
- Love, Shini
