I love collecting and sharing recipes with others as well as developing new recipes for my family and friends. As a busy mom, I prefer quick and easy recipes that I can prepare with the children. It's important to involve kids in the cooking process, to encourage their creativity, and teach them healthy food habits. Our family happens to be vegetarian, so many of the recipes on this lens are healthy, and meatless.

I welcome your food related comments and questions. I'd love to hear about your favorite recipes, too.

Please do me a favor and take a moment to rate this lens. If you enjoy this lens, I'd really appreciate it if you would tell your friends about it, too.

If you can only have one cookbook on your shelf, this should be it. It has good basic instructions for novice cooks, and wonderful wholesome recipes for all. I love this 3 ring binder version, because you can remove the pages to clip to your fridge while working, and you can add your own clippings and family recipes, as well.
