Welcome to my reservoir of recipes. Most of these recipes will be fairly easy and relatively quick to make. And each recipe here is one I've personally tried & liked. Also, most recipes have been given a rating by my husband (1-10 scale) for a 2nd opinion. Enjoy!
Why I'm Blogging About Recipes
When I got engaged, my soon-to-be father-in-law asked if I could cook. My answer then was "well, I can cook some things . . ." Little did he know that "some things" meant mac & cheese, pasta, sandwhiches, and mashed potatoes. Don't get me wrong. I didn't go hungry when I was single. But being a full-time college student & working part-time didn't leave much time or money for me to practice cooking big meals. And once I started dating my hubby, we were eating out at least 3-4 times a week! Needless to say, things changed once we got married in 2003.
Since then, I've tried a million different recipes. Well maybe not a million, but definitely a lot. And to my surprise, many have turned out to be great. But just like all new cooks, I've had my fair share of ruined food and unedible dishes. My sweet hubby has willingly eaten some of it; but he's also had to save the day with last-minute take-out.
Well, to make a long story a little shorter, I've decided to start documenting which recipes we like the most. I thought it would be fun to share with you some yummy recipes so you can also enjoy success in the kitchen. I have a few sisters & sisters-in-law who don't know how to cook, don't like to cook, or don't have time to cook. So I also thought this blog would be a fun place for them to try something that's easy and good.
Some of my very favorite recipes call for a crock-pot. But living in the UK for 14 months without a crock-pot has taught me to be a little more creative when cooking.
I hope you enjoy trying these recipes. I'd love to get feedback of what you liked, your own variations, or what you'd suggest. Just leave a comment!

Level of Difficulty
Very Easy:
Almost no prep time.
Easy:
1 or 2 simple steps such as chopping & mixing and it may take some prep time.
No Big Deal:
A few more steps, but you won't need to call your mom for help!
Not Too Hard:
It might be a little complicated, but it's well worth it.
Takes Time:
Usually takes more than an hour to prepare and clean-up might not be so much fun with all the dirty pots and pans. But hey, the food is delicious! When I take time to make these recipes, I usually make enough for left-overs so we enjoy the end result for a little longer.
