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 >

Excellent dish! Made this for Mother's Day brunch and it was a big hit. Everyone had seconds. Super easy to make.

Very good but I thought it was too much chicken and would add more rice next time to balance this.

Very good. An unusual appetizer and very yummy!

These were easy and good. I made the wontons a day in advance and then filled them right before I served them. This worked well. You do only need one chipotle pepper also - just a little bit in each wonton is enough.

Good but VERY mapley. This would be good if you were a big maple fan - I'm not but I still liked these. Great for breakfast.

Very good. Made for Christmas brunch and it smelled wonderful. I put it together the night before and baked while we were opening gifts - it was perfect for this. Everyone liked it too. It is quite hearty with the tomatoes and gouda.

Very good. Make sure garlic is roasted long enough to be soft. Use large clove garlic if possible.

A good side but the beans need to be cooked a little longer than stated.

LOVE this salad. The jalapeno dressing is wonderful. I have made this for a large crowd and everyone loved it.

Another family favorite. We love this one - even the kids (or young adults)! Almost like a dessert. You don't even have to like brie to like this!

We loved this!! I use corn meal instead of polenta.

One of our most favorites. A light, yet good for you, side dish. It makes a lot and I love the leftovers!

Not worth the effort.

Very good. Make the jelly mixture very runny so that it covers well.

This is family favorite. I make it for almost every family get together. This page in my cookbook is ruined!
