About me: I live in Colorado and cook for my family; my husband, my 20-year-old daughter (who is in college), and my 18-year-old son (a VERY picky eater). I love cookbooks and have quite a collection but am always looking to add more. I have been known to take a cookbook to bed and read it before falling asleep. Lately, I have found myself getting a lot of recipes off the internet and not using my cookbooks much. I would like to change this. I am anxious for this site to take off (and it will) and for the volume of recipe reviews to grow. It is such a great idea!

Skillet Blueberry Cobbler from Weber's Real Grilling

Excellent. We did overcook it slightly on the grill but we just need to get better at grill baking! Served it to a group of 5 and everyone loved it. read more >

Braciole : page 160

I made this for a dinner party and everyone loved it! I substituted Parmesan for provolone and it was just wonderful. Really VERY easy and fun to make. I had my butcher pound the flank steak which made it even easier.

Wild Mushroom Risotto with Peas : page 131

Really very good! I needed more liquid then recipe called for. This makes a LOT - I thought it was a lot more than 6 side dishes.
