For years I have enjoyed cooking, creating and constantly changing recipes in order to beat the doldrums of everyday evening meals and lunches. I try to cook with everyday spices and whatever is in the refrigerator. I hope you will also find it easy to gather everything you need to cook a satisfying meal. Never be scared to change a recipe to conform to your own taste buds and make the dish your own. My mom always said "We learn by doing." And in cooking, as well as in life, this is a good rule. Most of these recipes you can throw together in no time at all with simple ingredients. Others may take longer because of chopping or cooking time. But I consider them all to be good cookin'; and whatever time it takes to prepare is insignificant compared to the "Full Belly" it creates as the outcome.
