This is a collection of recipes I have gathered over the years. I got sick of keeping them in a folder and having to weed through the folder every time I wanted a particular one, so figured I would blog them. Please feel free to comment on the recipes, rate them, and send me cash for the ones you like. If you're looking for something in particular make sure to do a search on the top left of the page.
