I love to try new recipes, but have lost track overtime of where recipes went, what recipes I loved, which ones I did not love, and what little changes here or there I made to make a recipe quicker, easier, or adapted to my location at 6200 ft. and one hour away from a grocery store.

This is my attempt to keep all the recipes I try (including family recipes passed on by my mom and grandmothers) in one spot so I never lose track of this stuff again and eventually have a record of recipes that I want to continue making in the future.

I prefer recipes that are relatively quick and easy without a million steps or having to make everything from scratch. To me, tasting good is more important than a perfect presentation. However, sometimes or more like when I’m in some moods, it’s fun to try a complex dish, a Julia Child recipe, or baking something using no prepared ingredients.

I like to use organic ingredients when possible but living an hour from a big grocery store means each week I have to pre-plan really well.

Well, what the heck then, here we go…
