I didn't grow up cooking very well. It has only been after I have had kids that I really learned how to cook. I grew up in a big family so we always cooked with what was cheap. Every meal started with ground beef. We used a lot of canned vegetables and fruit. Sunday we had roast and vegetables.
By the time I got married I really hated cooking. I couldn't figure out how to cook well and my food never turned out great. As my kids have gotten older I found they have a lot of stomach problems. Going out to eat started to be totally out of the question. Not only was the price too much but I would have at least 2 kids in pain from what they ate.
As I have learned to cook better my kids and I do not want to go out to eat. McDonald's and fast food grosses them out. Bringing them to McDonald's is a form of torture in there mind.
About 11 years ago I started to have problems with red meat and pork. I no longer cook with those meats at all. Most of my recipes don't use a lot of dairy either. I have learned to love to cook from scratch. I have one of my nieces come over and she is my adult taste tester. I do not cook gourmet and I do not fry alot of things in oil either. I cook with oil but I don't deep fry a lot of things. I love good tasting food with lots of flavor.
My next venture is gardening. We have almost no yard but in the summer we grow tomatoes and jalapeno peppers.
The recipes I put in here are the ones I have gotten from other places and used. I want a place to bring all of my favorite recipes together.
