I am a wife to an awesome husband, mother of four great kids, and a middle school math teacher. I love collecting recipes and cookbooks! Being able to share the things I make with others is so much fun for me. I have gotten so many cookbooks and torn so many recipes out of magazines! This is my way to really make use of them. I am starting this blog as a way to chronicle the recipes I’ve tried and pass them along. I hope everyone enjoys!!!

    These look really good Jaren! My guys would have loved some of these when they were younger. I no longer have to make 8 lunches a day in the summer, but would have loved some of these recipes back then! Yes summer is a time not to be slaving in the kitchen. I too love to be outside and hanging out by my pool. So might even try some of these for a nice light supper! Hugs, Brenda
