Being a practical sort of lady, I have one cookbook. It's a three-ring binder, and it's filled with my favorite recipes. Over the years, I have cut recipes out of magazines, printed them from the Internet, typed them on paper, and written them on Post-It Notes. All of those sheets and scraps of paper have found their way into my recipe binder. Now that I blog, those recipes are finding their way here.
Below is the index to all of the recipes I've posted, sorted (hopefully) so that you (and I) can easily find what we're looking for.
FYI: I make all of my recipes from scratch. I do not use box mixes such as cake mix or Bisquick, or other convenience ingredients. I also use healthy alternatives--coconut oil for canola, sucanat for brown sugar--whenever I can. I typically note those alternatives to help you prepare recipes to your own liking.
