Welcome!

I created this blog as a place for us to go when we need a new, good recipe. So many times I get so excited to try a new recipe and it's terrible. I invited quite a few of you to be ''authors'' on this blog so you are able to add your favorite recipes. This way, we can all share our favorite that we know turn out great instead of trying some with crazy ingredients or just simply those that don't turn out.

Feel free to add as many or as little as you want and to share this blog with family and friends. The more the merrier!

However, please only post recipes that you have tried and know work out. :)
