RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
Hello, I am a married, no little ones, but great DH and 3 cats. Grew up in rural Nebraska with a family who loves to cook and eat. Trying to be healthier these days and lose some lbs. I do a lot of batch cooking (not quite OAMC). I am trying to get my sister to do it, she has 4 boys (14 to 6) very active and a husband. I love to collect recipes and cookbooks.
I have decided that I am going to try to a new recipe each week. That will be 52 new things done this year.
MY RATING SYSTEM:
5 stars: recipes that I or DH personally like . These will include recipes that I may have added or subtracted ingredients for personal tastes.
4 stars: recipes that I or DH thought was good & would eat if served to us, probably will not make again without changes.
3 stars: This is a dish that looks good but the flavor just is not there. More than likely will not make again
2 stars: Not our tastes at all. Not to say this recipe is not good just not for us.
1 star: I think that the we would have to end up in the hospital to give a 1 star rating, but will see how it goes.
