Recipes

This collection is a work in progress and contains food and a few home remedies.  I think that if  you want to succeed in eating healthier and not eating so many of your meals out, you have to have something at home that you look forward to cooking and eating. I could never do this if I had to look forward to a big fat bowl of carrots every night. These are some of the things that have kept me from throwing this whole project in the garbage. Also, all of my recipes are vegetarian, so feel free to add some cow or chicken, if you please. Enjoy!
