Little ol' Me

Welcome to my online recipe book! The recipes you will find on here are some of my own, or some collected while blog surfing or watching Food Network. I am simply an amateur cook and an avid recipe collector who loves to dabble in the never ending possibilities in the kitchen. Cooking for a hungry husband and a picky three year old is the name of the game here folks. Don't expect anything too wild and crazy, just plain and simple recipes for those of us who have no time and energy for immaculate presentation and extremely long and expensive shopping lists.



Also please feel free to leave me a comment if you made a dish and liked it...or not, or if you have any questions about a recipe. I love feedback and I love trying to perfect the chef in me.
