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 >

Black Bean Fiesta Salad : page 101

A very good, very tasty Black Bean Salad. Lots of veggies and lots of crunch in this one. I don't think that the cheese added a whole lot to this so I would consider not adding that next time.

Cucumber-Yogurt Dip : page 3

One of my MOST favorites. A great appetizer to set out to offset some heavier ones - this is light and good!

Make this recipe you will not be disappointed!! This is FABULOUS! I use frozen sole from Whole Foods - this is AWESOME. I'll make it on a Monday night and eat it all week for lunch. Beautifully seasoned!

Microwave Apple and Pear Crisp : page 254

This was good. I'm not usually one to use the microwave for baking but my husband wanted this and it sounded easy. It was and surprisingly it was quite good too.

Potato Salad : page 107

For a low fat potato salad this is great! Much lighter than a 'normal' potato salad but with the hard boiled eggs and a little touch of mayo was still very creamy. This one will be made often around our house.

Thai Carrot Salad : page 106

A very tasty slightly unusual carrot salad. I loved the serrano chile and the peanuts. This one is a keeper.
