I have lots of recipes and I enjoy trying new recipes but I only keep the ones my family approves of. I decided one day to put my recipes where they are more organized and I can access them anywhere. I don't have fun pictures to go along with the recipes and hopefully one day I will, but between dancing around our dog and 3 small children, I only have time to cook and then get the food on the table.

Many of my recipes have come from amazing friends and family that where nice enough to share, and I have given them props for it. So if you find something you like please just give props to the appropriate person.
