Headline: Hello!


Story: Hi, I'm Rosie I'm 27 years old and have a 3 year old little boy named Bj. I've been married to my high school sweetheart for the last 5 years. Although I consider myself a "competent" cook, I'd really like to start cooking more. I only have a hand full of recipes that I use which has become extremely boring. I hadn't realized that we spent so much money eating out until we reviewed our budget last month. We are expecting to purchase a nice family car next month for our hopefully expanding family. And I was shocked to realize we had about $800.00 dollars a month disappearing a month mostly to eating out. I enjoy cooking just really don't know how. In the hopes of saving money and spending some well deserved family time around the dinner table I've joined!

Headline: Hello, I am Pat and in need of help!


Story:

I am a 55 year old busy lady working full time in management in banking.  No time to cook, but want to do so anyway.  In need of easy, quick, delicious one-pot meals to fix for my husband who is also in banking.  We are so busy, we sometimes grab a bite at 9:00 PM which is not healthy for either of us or just bring something home after work.  Want to cook, just don't have the time.  When we first got married in 1995, I did cook, but jobs got more involved, we moved, etc.  Just got out of the habit and now it is hard to get back.  Help!

Headline: hi all


Story:

My name is Aiele, and I am a high school teacher with three.....yes three....teenage boys.  Needless to say even if I wanted to cook I don't have much time, as teaching is a 24/7 job....and my principal believes school comes before family.....or so it seems since she tends to call on the  spur of the momment meetings frequently.  So I need help in finding good and quick recipes to feed the bottomless pits my sons have become. Thanks for letting me join.

Headline: Hi from Wayne


Story:

I'm a 50 year old who had major open heart surgery and then a month later lost my left leg. Mama, Grandmama, aunt Bertie and Greataunt Mary taught me to cook starting back when I was 5 and you haven't been able to keep me out of a kitchen yet. LOL.
 
Now that I'm on disability I am always on the prowl for quick, CHEAP dishes to cook to make the food budget stretch. Glad I found this site and some of those great recipies.

Headline: Hi, from chefjoyln in St. Clairsville, OH


Story:

I am the mother of 3 grown daughters and a 3 year old grandson, Jonathan. I have always loved being in the kitchen, baking and cooking. I am notthe greatest cook in the world but I do love to bake. I am putting together a cookbook for my family and friends that will hopefully be ready by spring. I work as a Customer Service Manager in a family owned grocery chain in the Ohio valley. I work a long days and don't have much time to cook or bake except on my days off. I have hundreds of cook books that I sit and read them as if they were a novel. This is a great site. I always look forward to the news letters. Thanks!

Story:

 
Well there isn't much to tell about me.  I'm 79 years old (wife, 77), married 61 years, three children now in late 50s.  We spent 30 years in the U.S. Air Force in Air Traffic Control (retired May 1974).  Worked in local U.S. Postal Service sorting mail for 15 years (retired Jan. 1990).   RV'd 3months every summer since than to get out of the Arizona Desert when the temp was HIGH.  Give up the RV'ing this year to settle down and start living on the memories.
 
I find your web site to be very, very interesting.   This is the first time that I've looking into cooking.   And all those recipes sure look delicious!!!!   Food is one thing that I'd not a stranger to.   I love it all, except I draw the line on "rare fish".   Tried that only once when in the South Pacific on Johnston Island, HI Territory.

Story:

Hi! I just joined and it looks like a great group! I HATE to cook and always have! I do cook on occasion, but when I do, my boyfriend says to 'take a picture.' His mom says 'it's amazing' and 'should I faint now or later?' hehe I know that I am a good cook, but I just HATE it!!
 
Anyway, I live in Oregon with my boyfriend, Rodger, our two dogs, Bear and Lucky, and our turtle, Tordie. He has two grown children (23 and 25) and two grands (1 and 3). I never had kids and can't have them.
