The Reason
I have decided to start a recipe blog with all of my favorite recipes, family recipes, and friends recipes. I HATE searching for a recipe,thumbing through recipe cards, reading cookbook glossaries, or having to call someone because I just can't find it. It's also a HUGE pain when I have this great recipe, but am out of town, and can't make it because I don't have the recipe on hand. So if you have a recipe to share or add to the blog, please email me or leave me a message and I will add it to the blog. This may be next best thing since sliced bread!!!
