I live in a suburb of Columbus, Ohio, with a DH; we have 2 "grown" children that still like to hang out with us and the world's most perfect grandson! We are blessed. Love to read, garden and entertain, and am always on the lookout for new recipes. I found this website by accident , needless to say it has become the website of choice to locate recipes. Now if I only had time to cook all the recipes I am saving! I mainly review only the recipes my family and I enjoy. I have decided not to post negative reviews anymore as tastes are subjective. When it comes to cooking, my pet peeve is recipes that are rated poorly when the reviewer has made several changes to the original submission.
