About Our Recipes

Each recipe presented was created — in most cases — by using what was available in our home at that time. Ultimately, we did better planning in preparing our meals. Since we had a busy family with different tastes, we thought carefully about what would please everyone. We understood what each family member liked and crafted our meals with their tastes in mind.

One of the first recipes we created spontaneously was the Chicken Soup with Sausage. We had some leftover roasted chicken from the previous night's meal, and simply making a chicken sandwich was not desirable. Instead, we searched our refrigerator and discovered smoked sausage, onion, carrots, celery, and more. Using those items, along with some chicken base and other seasonings, our dinner was right there.

Thanks to many seasoning options, vegetables, meats, and an understanding family, we've created over 50 meals, soups, stews, and desserts. Not all recipes are 100 percent created from scratch — in some cases, we enhanced other recipes — but we'll always be sure to identify those to be honest with you.

In summary, we hope you try one or more of these dishes in your own kitchen and enjoy them at your dining table. All measurements and instructions are provided with as much detail as possible, with the hope that you enjoy the end results as much as we have.

Thank You, and Enjoy
