Anyone else mixes different recipes into one?

[raweater]

I often mix different recipes of the same thing, taking the advantages of each andeliminating the things I don't like.

Here are some examples:
I like Rawvolution's spinach cheese quiche but don't want to make the onion bread crust which takes 2 days. I like RAWsome's instant quiche crust made of nothing but processed pecans, but not the filling. So I make Rawsome's crust with Rawvolution's filling.

Another example is the spinach cream curry in Gabriel Cousens book, it tastes absolutely delicious but is too low in calories to be worth making for me. Rawsome has a spinach cream curry that's very high in calories since it has half a cup of macadamia nuts but I didn't quite like the taste. So I made Gabriel Cousens one but used less water and added half a cup of macadamia nuts. It still tastes as good, the texture has improved since it's now creamy (it used to be very liquid) and has well over 600 calories.

Those are just a few examples, but I find the best recipes are often a blend oftwo different ones of the same thing.

Does anyone else do this?

yes I do but I can't think of an example.

except alissas pesto mushrooms - i make them with the pesto from the pure food and wine lasagna - but only because its easier if i'm making both recipes for the same meal.
