Welcome

I am sick of making the same recipes over and over again, so I decided to start a recipe blog. I originally started this hoping others would email me great recipes! But now I have it so I can come up with a menu each week. Planning ahead helps me so that I don't need to think about what to make each night! Plus now I have a great database to search when I am planning what to make :)Especially since I am allergic to milk. So besides the dairy labeled recipes all these recipes are dairy free!
