Intro to my cooking......

I don't pretend to be a fantastic cook, I have had a few disasters.

I have had a few inquires about a couple of recipe's, so I thought that I would once a month upload a recipe that my family have enjoyed.

My first rule of cooking is it has to take 30-45 minutes to prep and cook, unless it is something that I can do in the oven or slow cooker.
Prep and forget, love those recipes

My second rule of cooking is I have to have the ingredients already in my pantry or fridge.
Or if I do buy a new ingredient it has to do a couple of recipes.

Hope you enjoy and your family loves them as well!!
