Here are recipes I have made over the years or someone else has. They are not necessarily my own recipes. I have found them in magazines, gotten them from friends and from the internet, as well as cook books. I hope you can use them. Enjoy!

Zucchini, Corn and Potato Tacos

I know I have not posted in a long time...my bad! I have had a ton of other things on my mind lately, but this morning, I am hungry! So, I thought it was time I posted a new recipe and maybe actually cook it myself!





Doesn't this look yummy??

I got this from Yahoo Recipes a long time ago, submitted by Better Homes and Garden Magazine.
