Welcome to my new, exciting corner of our blog. (Okay, I know it’s all exciting, but I think the ladies will enjoy this page :) ).So, now that I am a stay-at-home mom, I find myself experimenting more with my cooking. It’s refreshing to have extra time to devote to this little hobby of mine. I thought it would be fun to post recipes and pictures of my creations. I find that people often ask me to share my recipes, so this seemed like a fun option. Click on the link below to visit my recipe blog (I wanted to blog on this page but couldn’t figure out for the life of me how to do it…uhhh!) Please feel free to post your own recipes as comments. I would love to try my hand at them!

    Hi Amanda, Jess told me about this site when you were all in town. I have been trying your recipies, and the family loves them! I was in a little bit of a rut, and was always trying to come up with something new to make for dinner. You have made my life so much easier! Now, you think, I cook :) Thanks!
