This prompted a discussion (and confession session) about the times we've taken credit for a dish that we actually didn't make. For the most part, everyone admitted that they'd "faked it" at some point or another — even myself!

Unless you've been living under a rock, you're fully aware of our current economic crisis. And while professionals are telling us not to panic, chances are most of you are cutting back on your spending. But saving money and scaling down your date nights doesn't mean you can't have fun; you just might have to think outside the box!
