I love to read cookbooks & view them as a great source of inspiration for my dinner menus. I am sharing a portion of my recipe collection with you here at Betty's Recipes.
It amazes me how many ways you can change a single
ingredient into so many different things! Look at chicken - you could eat
it 7 days in a row & never get bored. (Which is a good thing around here
because beef is a little costly!)
I choose to look at recipes guides & rarely follow them to a "T" (except baking - gotta get the chemical reactions right or it just won't work!). The biggest pro for me is that I can tailor make it to suit my family's needs/tastes/ingredients. Have a great sounding recipe but it calls for an ingredient you don't have or don't care for? Don't pass the recipe by...change it instead! Make them work for you - not against you. The recipe may be your directions, but you are the one driving!
I am in the midst of reorganizing so please be patient. The final result
will be worth the trouble. Watch for
recipes!
Here you will find a portion of my ever-growing recipe collection. Dig in!

I am doing the South Beach Diet right now (have lost 15.5lbs in 4 weeks) so a lot of my new additions are SB recipes - meaning low processed foods, low sugar & high whole grains. If you see P1 (Phase 1), that is the introductory period of 2 weeks - no carbs/fruits & lots of veggies, lean meats/cheeses. P2 (phase 2) is when you reintroduce whole fruits & whole grains a little at a time while you lose weight. P3 (phase 3) is the maintenance period. Enjoy!
