Don't you just love that cook book! I have the same one and use it all of the time, but like you I sub a lot in those recipe's. I don't like all of the added salt, sugar, butter, etc. that they have in some of those recipe's, so I usually end up doing what you do and tweek it a bit, LOL! I just know little Pita is going to be showering Mommy with oodles of beaky kisses tonight!
