I'm not a chef--I'm not even a great cook. I am a good cook who loves food and enjoys cooking.

For several years I worked from 4 to 10 at night, editing reports for immediate publication. When something came in, it had to go out ASAP. When I tried to prepare/eat dinner, inevitably I would be called away by the familiar ding my computer, calling me back NOW. This made dinner preparation tricky. So quick and/or make-in-advance recipes were a must. Planning menus for the week also helped.

​

I am always in search of realistic recipes for everyday cooking. Then I try to make them easier without sacrificing taste. Planning weekly menus helps me enjoy cooking more, and save time and money. I hope my recipe and menu suggestions will help you, too.

​

I'm aware that most sites with recipes have lots of pictures and videos. I'm not there yet. I'm working on it. Thanks for your patience!

​

Now if I can only remember/be fast enough to take pictures before the ravenous hordes (okay, two or three guys) descend.
