I thought that there was too much butter so I used only 1/4 cup. I used 1/2 cup of milk. And 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese. I used 2 garlic cloves and I don't think the garlic powder is needed with the fresh garlic. Thanks Amanda. Made for TYM tag game

I am finally learning how to cook thanks to recipezaar! I haven't really made up any of my own recipes yet, but I have made a lot of the ones posted on here. Asian food is my favorite thing to make, and I also enjoy making desserts (especially cheesecake). I am amazed by how easy it has been for me to learn how to cook. I always used to think cooking was so hard and time-consuming, but I learned that once you have all the ingredients and proper equipment on hand it's not very difficult. I used to only cook stuff in the microwave or in the crockpot, but since I joined recipezaar I have been working my way up to more and more challenging recipes.
