YUMMY!!!

Ever since we've been married I've wanted to collect favorite recipes from both sides of our family. I finally decided to start a blog specifically for this purpose.

Friends and Family: If you have yummy dishes to contribute, email me and I will add you as an author to this blog. I only have 2 requests:

1 - "Label" your blog entry with the type of course.. ie: Chicken, Pie, Salad, etc
2 - Don't post any gross recipes - only the delicious ones! :)

Hopefully this will give us great ideas for dinners (so we don't continue eating the state of Connecticut's hot dog storage)
