Recipes

Just like art, cooking is a preference and not exact. We all have different likes and dislikes, preferences and many have dietary restrictions like allergies and auto-immune disorders. All recipes can be altered to suit your individual preferences. Seasonings are an estimate: add more or less seasoning, even remove or swap an ingredient if you want!

None of these recipes use crockpots: I don't use them for many reasons. You can try your hand at using a crockpot for a recipe, but please note that a crockpot may change the texture or flavor of any of these recipes! (Maybe not!)

These are straight-to-the-point recipes: no need to scroll through an entire blog to get to the recipe!
