Before doing anything else, please sign the guest book. Some of the features of this site are only visible after you have signed in to the system.

The site builds on the premise that sharing great tasting and healthy food preserves a sense of community and family that is easily lost with the speed of work schedules, children’s events and home maintenance. The recipes we selected are our favorites and quick. We have tried to make sure that producing a weekly menu and grocery list are also quick. With any time you save in planning, treat yourself to a few great tasting home cooked meals.we believe that cooking is a form of therapy that has lasting benefits.

A growing list of favorite recipes, cookbooks, and websites are here. Many of you are contributing recipes to help with this site. For that, we thank you. Please tell your friends and forward them a link to this site.

We attempted to collect healthy recipes and soon discovered that not all our favorites are healthy, but great tasting and fun nevertheless.  

I will be adding new features over time, but for the moment the website is made of several sections. The section titled produce a grocery list (available after you have signed the guest book) is one where you can select a recipe, produce a quick grocery list, and a personal cookbook of the selected items for a week of meals. While you are there be sure to sign in. Since there are likely to be several people using the site at any point in time, this is the only way we know which menu ibelongs to you. Most of the recipes also will allow you to see nutritional values.

The book reviews and references includes a list of our favorite cooking references.. Some of their recipes are in our recipe list.  One section contains great healthy links for friends that want to go further.

We have also included a way to enter your recipes, in hopes that we could discover new tastes and cooking styles. Please enter your own recipe.This feature is available only after you have signed the guestbook. When I notice your recipe entry, I will run review it and lookup the nutritional value of the ingredients. You should be able to check back within 24-hours to see your nutritional content data.

More importantly, slow down and, if only for a little while, "Stop and smell the roses."
