Recipes

I love to cook and bake, especially around the holidays.  I don’t mind trying out new ingredients and techniques and am always on the look out for good recipes and recipe sites. If I try out a new recipe and am asked by my family to make it again, it goes in the Family Favorites cookbook. They are always letting me know if it’s a keeper or not and I’ve not had too many flops. There were a few, just don’t ask my son about the Santa Fe Chicken Chili please.

I love sharing my recipes with anyone and everyone and will keep adding to my collection here. Enjoy!
