@AmericanAbroad
I moved to England 5 1/2 years ago with my family, last summer my parents moved back home and I stayed here in Yorkshire with my boyfriend. I found it difficult at first and began missing my favourite foods like pancakes and cakes; the food here just isn't the same! I was brought up with pancakes and breakfast sausage on a Saturday morning, but it was always 'Hungry Jack' or 'Aunt Jemimas' so I never realised you could make it from scratch from stuff I always have in the cupboard!! Since finding RecipeZaar, my boyfriend has gaining about 15 lbs!! It has really been my saving grace here! I love to bake and cook, and love that I can find all those good American foods here, (with just a bit more work!) but also some new and exciting things I would have never thought of making! I'm a bit of a gourmet, and love expirimenting with fresh ingredients and different ideas!
