A huge happy #omhg welcome, so glad you came to visit & share with us:) #omhgohmyhandmade at 08/02/2012 01:10 PM EST I wanted to submit a recipe for your cool project but July went by like a nano-second. #omhgdeannamullican at 08/02/2012 01:09 PM EST When you are feeling stuck or in need of comfort to spark your creativity what do you like to cook up? #omhgohmyhandmade at 08/02/2012 01:09 PM EST @ohmyhandmade Doesn't matter what I'm cooking, as long as it's at home with my husband or friends. Because then it's always relaxing. #omhgsparrowscript at 08/02/2012 01:13 PM EST @ohmyhandmade mostly chocolate based things! Though a huge pot of chilli usually does the trick too. Both with a glass of wine! Hehe #omhgfourlittlewalls at 08/02/2012 01:16 PM EST FYI flurries of tweets coming your way via our weekly #OMHG chat - you've been warned @smckennamusicTrashN2Tees at 08/02/2012 01:09 PM EST Yay!!

RT @TrashN2Tees i try not to cook whenever possible. #youalreadyknow #omhgLu_and_Ed at 08/02/2012 01:11 PM EST @ohmyhandmade ya know, I realized yesterday I hadn't tweeted about pizza in a while. #omhgTrashN2Tees at 08/02/2012 01:12 PM EST cookies-instant gratification RT @ohmyhandmade: When you're stuck or in need of comfort to spark your creativity what do you cook up? #omhgdeannamullican at 08/02/2012 01:11 PM EST I enjoy cooking every now and then when inspired or for a party, otherwise it's a chore #omhgembergrass at 08/02/2012 01:11 PM EST @embergrass What about food for comfort or creativity? What do you crave when you want to get creative? #omhgohmyhandmade at 08/02/2012 01:12 PM EST @ohmyhandmade I've never thought about using food to boost my creative inspiration... when I'm focusing I forget to eat! #omhgembergrass at 08/02/2012 01:13 PM EST Chocolate and coffee! RT @ohmyhandmade What do you crave when you want to get creative? #omhgLu_and_Ed at 08/02/2012 01:14 PM EST When life is complicated I soothe myself by cooking something ridiculously complex-paying attention to the steps calms me #omhgohmyhandmade at 08/02/2012 01:11 PM EST I can't cook. Don't like to cook. I love to bake. I don't like what it does to my pants though ;) #omhgInkandDirt at 08/02/2012 01:12 PM EST My homemade chicken soup n bacon with crackers! RT @ohmyhandmade: ... what do you like to cook up? #omhgthelanguidlion at 08/02/2012 01:13 PM EST I just bought a Blendtec blender. I've been making awesome smoothies with fresh fruits & veggies. Better than mindless snacking! #omhgCormierCreative at 08/02/2012 01:13 PM EST Uncookers Unite! RT @InkandDirt: I cant cook. Dont like to cook. I love to bake. I dont like what it does to my pants though ;) #omhgTrashN2Tees at 08/02/2012 01:13 PM EST Baking is my specialty. RT @InkandDirt: I cant cook. Dont like to cook. I love to bake.

Wowsers... you ARE a phenom! #omhgthelanguidlion at 08/02/2012 01:16 PM EST recipes are like patterns to me...mostly a guide/suggestion. both of which i like to tweak. #omhgnotrachel at 08/02/2012 01:14 PM EST @deannamullican @InkandDirt I like baking way more than cooking too! Love baking :) #omhgembergrass at 08/02/2012 01:14 PM EST I love to cook with fresh local ingredients & always am inspired when the food comes from farms & hands that I know #omhgohmyhandmade at 08/02/2012 01:14 PM EST A guideline to play with!

RT @ohmyhandmade: I love to cook w fresh local ingredients & am inspired when the food comes from farms & hands that I know #omhgdeannamullican at 08/02/2012 01:15 PM EST Baking & cooking are the same thing to me-taking raw materials & transforming them into something yummy & creative #omhgohmyhandmade at 08/02/2012 01:15 PM EST Hi all... I'll be hoping in and out today! What's the chat about today?
#omhgMeaganVisser at 08/02/2012 01:15 PM EST Sad. Took me a second to recall my twitter password. So many passwords...but I am here for a few minutes with you all! #omhgColleenAttara at 08/02/2012 01:15 PM EST One of my favorite recipes is one for vegetarian 3-bean chili that I just came up with on my own. Tweaked it until perfect. #omhgsparrowscript at 08/02/2012 01:15 PM EST When I bake I follow the recipe carefully, when I cook I don't usually even have a recipe #omhgembergrass at 08/02/2012 01:16 PM EST @thelanguidlion pshha, say that now! inquire about my sanity later. KY to NJ #omhgTrashN2Tees at 08/02/2012 01:16 PM EST I make the best apple pie!

Craving for creativity: chocolate. Love to cook up things with..uhm, chocolate? No, love making soup actually #omhgRocajoStudio at 08/02/2012 01:17 PM EST @sparrowscript did you submit it for the cookbook? sounds kinda yummy! #omhgTrashN2Tees at 08/02/2012 01:17 PM EST @sparrowscript One of my favouritest winter foods-nothing more comforting or cozy! #omhgohmyhandmade at 08/02/2012 01:17 PM EST Yes! very boundaried ;-) RT @deannamullican: I love to bake because it usually has to be very precise. #omhgthelanguidlion at 08/02/2012 01:17 PM EST I always change them! RT @embergrass: When I bake I follow the recipe carefully, when I cook I dont usually even have a recipe #omhgohmyhandmade at 08/02/2012 01:17 PM EST Cooking is so like business-once you know the basics you can experiment, play & create your own path...but you need to know the rules! #omhgohmyhandmade at 08/02/2012 01:18 PM EST @deannamullican @ohmyhandmade Oh yes! Grrr...now I am hungry :) #omhgInkandDirt at 08/02/2012 01:18 PM EST Please do Emily!

Recipes past down, memories made around the kitchen table? #omhgohmyhandmade at 08/02/2012 01:19 PM EST @TrashN2Tees Parchment paper is better for the oven than wax paper fyi:) #omhgohmyhandmade at 08/02/2012 01:20 PM EST RT @ohmyhandmade Cooking is like business-once you know the basics you can create ur own path: but need to know the rules! #omhgdeannamullican at 08/02/2012 01:20 PM EST I love making cake pops... they impress everyone with their cuteness! #omhgCormierCreative at 08/02/2012 01:20 PM EST It is better non-stick too RT @ohmyhandmade: @TrashN2Tees Parchment paper is better for the oven than wax paper fyi:) #omhgembergrass at 08/02/2012 01:20 PM EST @TrashN2Tees Where are you relocating to?

Use parchment paper instead-can go up to about 450 degrees. #omhgdeannamullican at 08/02/2012 01:21 PM EST RT @ohmyhandmade: @TrashN2Tees Parchment paper is better for the oven than wax paper fyi:) #omhg // my mom swears by parchment paper.notrachel at 08/02/2012 01:21 PM EST @sparrowscript No way.. You should totally DM me that recipe. I can never find good vegetarian chili recipes! #omhgLu_and_Ed at 08/02/2012 01:22 PM EST @notrachel Totally! I made Hello Kitty cake pops once and someone asked me "How much for a batch?" I said $500!!! #omhgCormierCreative at 08/02/2012 01:22 PM EST @CormierCreative Totally so fun! Love making them with the girls-they love the squishing up perfectly good cake part #omhgohmyhandmade at 08/02/2012 01:22 PM EST @ohmyhandmade Nope - a small family of three and not focused on meals at all... that's completely changed with my husband & I, though! #omhgthelanguidlion at 08/02/2012 01:22 PM EST @Lu_and_Ed Haha, probably too long for DM, but I will definitely blog it and share! #omhgsparrowscript at 08/02/2012 01:22 PM EST I love cooking in my crockpot as I paint in my studio. Feel so balanced. Art supplies are in my studio oven. #OmhgColleenAttara at 08/02/2012 01:22 PM EST @thelanguidlion Warren County, Phillipsburg, NJ area- Nick and I both born/raised there #omhgTrashN2Tees at 08/02/2012 01:22 PM EST Last Christmas my mom and I made homemade s'mores-she made the graham crackers and I made the marshmallows=YUM #omhgdeannamullican at 08/02/2012 01:22 PM EST It was always just my mama & I growing up and all my memories centre around the kitchen table both cooking & creating #omhgohmyhandmade at 08/02/2012 01:23 PM EST @ohmyhandmade Can't wait until my little one can bake with me! #omhgCormierCreative at 08/02/2012 01:23 PM EST @Lu_and_Ed 700 miles away.

I've tried to honour the family recipes but consensus is that I should stick to eating than @ my parents #omhgInkandDirt at 08/02/2012 01:24 PM EST I have never been a grand cook (read, I suck at cooking) but I love to bake! #omhgLu_and_Ed at 08/02/2012 01:24 PM EST @thelanguidlion yeah it'll be nice to have the boys grow up around family and old friends #omhgTrashN2Tees at 08/02/2012 01:24 PM EST I like to cook in the morning too. Fresh coffee and something on the stove. Then the rest of the day is mine. #OmhgColleenAttara at 08/02/2012 01:24 PM EST @TrashN2Tees Wow! Same type of move here - been in MO for 3 years and now I am moving 13 hours home to SC! #omhgLu_and_Ed at 08/02/2012 01:24 PM EST @InkandDirt Oh that is sad to me!

Sorry I'm late - had to watch olympic gymnastics :) #omhgPatternedApp at 08/02/2012 01:25 PM EST @ohmyhandmade my mom wasnt much of a cook - I love making things from scratch & will teach my kids. Esp since my son has a nut allergy #omhgsweet_sapling at 08/02/2012 01:25 PM EST Lots of sticky little fingers and spoons being licked :) RT @CormierCreative: @ohmyhandmade Cant wait til my little 1 can bake with me #omhgRocajoStudio at 08/02/2012 01:25 PM EST @Lu_and_Ed Same thing!

Fresh coffee and something on the stove. Then the rest of the day is mine. #omhgohmyhandmade at 08/02/2012 01:25 PM EST @ohmyhandmade I mostly make all the meals at home, but I usually make them w/him in mind & he takes center stage when we entertain! #omhgthelanguidlion at 08/02/2012 01:26 PM EST I learned to cook after getting a CSA ... now I find it soothing at the end of the day #omhgPatternedApp at 08/02/2012 01:26 PM EST @sweet_sapling I think cooking with little ones is so important, something many kids never learn but such a vital skill #omhgohmyhandmade at 08/02/2012 01:26 PM EST @ohmyhandmade nan taught us how to make Christmas pudding. Stir in coins for luck. Now we always think of her when we make it :) #omhgfourlittlewalls at 08/02/2012 01:26 PM EST @TrashN2Tees Wow! You guys decided to do it. When are you moving? #omhgdeannamullican at 08/02/2012 01:27 PM EST @ohmyhandmade you have to write down those sweet family recipes. I did recently. So much "a pinch of this". #OmhgColleenAttara at 08/02/2012 01:27 PM EST @notrachel It is easier if you login to tweetchat-it adds the tag for you http://t.co/nl4jgW3x #omhgohmyhandmade at 08/02/2012 01:27 PM EST So this is a hilarious chat today for someone who is on day 4 of a raw foods detox.

I have a recipe book with all sorts of recipes from both sides of the family-love them so! #omhgohmyhandmade at 08/02/2012 01:28 PM EST I make cookies when I need to relax so that I can create. #omhgPatternedApp at 08/02/2012 01:28 PM EST @ohmyhandmade I know :( My taquitos (Guatemalan Tacos) are good but everything else I just don't have "the touch" but I enjoy our food #omhgInkandDirt at 08/02/2012 01:28 PM EST RT @ohmyhandmade: It was always just my mama & I growing up & all my memories centre around the kitchen table both cooking & creating #OmhgColleenAttara at 08/02/2012 01:28 PM EST RT @PatternedApp: I learned to cook after getting a CSA ... now I find it soothing at the end of the day #omhgTrashN2Tees at 08/02/2012 01:28 PM EST @ohmyhandmade I agree!

Amazing how tastes & smells can bring to mind loved ones & family so strongly #omhgohmyhandmade at 08/02/2012 01:28 PM EST @fourlittlewalls Aww, that's so sweet. Very special memories. #omhgRocajoStudio at 08/02/2012 01:28 PM EST @ohmyhandmade It is totally hilarious that I attempt these things! #omhgCormierCreative at 08/02/2012 01:28 PM EST @CormierCreative Oh no! We went through that with the Atkins diet - no carbs for 2wks from a carb-laden diet - ugh! Better 4 it, tho #omhgthelanguidlion at 08/02/2012 01:29 PM EST With two busy littluns, my cooking parameters are speed ease and healthiness. Lots of one pot stew, soup, couscous, quinoa... #omhgstoryofmum at 08/02/2012 01:29 PM EST @ColleenAttara omhg don't get me started! A pressure cooker is like a crockpot but it does the job in 1/4 of the time=amazing #omhgohmyhandmade at 08/02/2012 01:33 PM EST @InkandDirt Yum to taquitos! I am a culture hound & love cooking foods from all over the world-SA food is my fave though #omhgohmyhandmade at 08/02/2012 01:29 PM EST I didn't really learn to cook much until I was "grown up" Now my hubs and I cook at home most nights. #omhgdeannamullican at 08/02/2012 01:29 PM EST @deannamullican I usually try new - i'm fearless & chaotic in the kitchen & my hubs is very strategic... adds up to an excellent time! #omhgthelanguidlion at 08/02/2012 01:33 PM EST @thelanguidlion fearless & chaotic in the kitchen-this is exactly me (in cooking & life), thankfully my mr does the cleaning #omhgohmyhandmade at 08/02/2012 01:34 PM EST @InkandDirt OMG, those sound delicious from their title alone ;-) #omhgthelanguidlion at 08/02/2012 01:29 PM EST I love it too! CSA's are great RT @PatternedApp: I learned to cook after getting a CSA-now I find it soothing at the end of the day #omhgdeannamullican at 08/02/2012 01:30 PM EST @Lu_and_Ed I'm super grumpy and out of it.
