Why am I doing this?

Several people have been asking me to give them copies of my recipes for certain dishes and asking me to make them other dishes, so I decided to create a blog with my recipes. Feel free to use any of these and edit them to your taste.

Disclaimer

I am now back in TEXAS so some recipes will be updated to show local ingredients. However, the below disclaimer is still true...I have created all these through trial and error.

All of these recipes have been made by me (or my family and revised by me) prior to me moving to Hawaii. However, since I have been in this beautiful state I have been able to buy fresher and more varied ingredients to revise these recipes to allow for a new twist on old favorites. If you do not have fresh ingredients available please use what you do have, or in most cases I have listed options, to create your own special everyday meal.
