You are an adventurous spirit and willing to try new things in the world of food. You go girl!
It is a fun way to share what we've had and what we still have to try. Making suggestions about what you'd like to see added speaks volumes about your 'taste.'
What a fun quiz! So glad you shared with us and thanks for joining us at TwirlandTaste.
Happy Twirls,
I am glad you shared that wonderful quiz. I also wanted to thank you for visiting my site.
Yes, I did used instant oats. Thank you for pointing that out. I am going to add that to my post.
Hey Cali Chic! Thanks for stopping by my blog, you asked me about the 3oz of cream cheese.
I buy Philedelphia Brand Cream Cheese, and when you open the package there are little marks showing what is 1 oz, 2 oz, 3 oz, etc (like with butter).
If that isn't available to you I would buy an 8oz block of cream cheese and cut in in half. Then you have two 4oz section, cut a quarter off one of the sections and there you go, 3oz!
Oh and that's awesome you live in Italy! My boyfriends sister has been a Texan transplant in Italy for about 3 years now. Very cool :)
