CONNIE'S RECIPE BOX

I have been a recipe collector and have way too many cookbooks and pages torn from magazines! I am on a quest to organize, clean out and simplify my recipes and to get back to an organized meal planning and preparation system! Recipes on this blog will have to pass the "taste test" of my family and will need to be fairly simple to make and of reasonable expense. There is also a desire to use whole grain foods and other long term food storage items!
