Sticking to the recipe

I almost always change the recipe, because I have a few food allergies and there's almost always something I can't have, so I have to substitute something else for it. That doesn't bother me, because I generally like my substitution better anyway.

I almost always make adjustments on recipes. Either because I do want more of a particular ingredient, or because I'm lacking an ingredient and I have to use a substitute. I get some pretty cool results in either case, for the most part.

I hardly ever use a recipe anyway, but when I do, if it's something I'm totally unfamiliar with, I'll follow it to the "T," but the second time I make it to suit myself. Which means yes, I do change things in recipes. :)

I rarely even use recipes. Usually, I just add what I choose, and season as I choose, and come up with very interesting, usually tasty meals. My daughter loves my cooking, as did my daughter's father, when he was home. When I do use a recipe, I rarely measure things out, I just add however much I think it needs, and also, I do add and subtract ingredients and such......lol

I do the same, like I suggested one or two ingredients if I don't have the ones listed. Or I compare two or three kinds of recipes and choose which one I think is better. Or else I try again with some variations till I get the best result.

If it's a casserole or something like that I may change the recipe a little but in baking I stick to what the recipe says.
