Hi everyone! I thought this would be a fun way to collect all our family recipes. We have so many good recipes that I would hate to lose them like we did papa’s red velvet cake.
Categories November 20, 2007
I came up with this list of categories just to get us started. We can change these later as our needs change. We can also add some way to help us search for particular key words like “chicken” but I am not sure how to do that yet – lol! Let me know what you think and if you need any changes.

Pressure Cooker November 20, 2007
I know I have only been cooking for a month now but I am all into it!! I love it! I eat healthy and things taste so much better. I have a lot to learn but one of the best things I discovered is a pressure cooker. I was a little intimidated to use it at first… it seems so dangerous but it has been worth it! You can cook so quick with one!!
I thought they were really expensive but mom and I bought one at Kohl’s and after coupons, it turned out to be $15!!! We originally thought it was too small to use but it is the perfect size. It is 5 quarts and actually holds quite a bit of food. I made some great dishes and one of them, red beans and rice was the BOMB!!! I will add the recipe here in a few minutes.
By the way, I made it healthy with low fat sausage and it turned out wonderful. I am sure that it would be even beter with the real fatty sausuage but I am on a diet!
