I love to make my DUMP recipes, I am never afraid of messing up. We too like to play with food.

I do this all the time! My family always jokes that if I make a recipe and they like it - too bad they will NEVER have it again. Because I always find a way to tweak a recipe. That's not entirely true - I do have some that I make without changing. But I do change them up a lot. And, they still love them.
