In these next sections, I am listing many recipes that I use and enjoy using. I am an avid cook, and I not only cook, but I "cook" (smile). I enjoy cooking and baking, and from what I am and have been told, I'd make a great chef, although I am not thinking along those lines. I do however cook for many people, and on a regular basis. It is a very good feeling to be able to Cook for people and "know" they are going to love it and come back fore more (smile). Feel free to use any of the recipes (I swear by them-smile), and believe me I "know" what is really good, that has come from cooking for to many people with discriminating palates, including my own Enjoy!!! smile...
