Welcome to our Recipe Swap!

If anyone would like to join this blog as a contributor, just let me know and I will add you as an author. The only thing we ask is that you share your recipes with us! We may start monthly themes later on down the line, if more people show an interest, but at this point, please feel free to post any recipe you like, whenever you like.

~If you have a photo of the dish, please post it along with the recipe, since it is always nicer to see a picture. Please post it at the medium size so we can keep all the pictures the same size.

~And please tag the recipes into one of the categories listed. As you decide on which category to put them in, think of how you would search for it in a cookbook. As administrator, I may occasionally go through the recipes and categories and edit them for easier searching as things go along, so don't feel offended if I change some things around.


~If you try a recipe, feel free to comment on the recipe and let us know what you thought!


~Finally, please write a little something about yourself. I will post everyones profile here, so that we can get to know those we may not be familiar with.

Thank you to those who have already jumped in and added recipes. I am excited to see what everyone is cooking!

Eggs Benedict

Hollandaise sauce (we usually buy a "just add liquid" mix, but you're welcome to try making your own)
3 English muffins, halved, toasted and buttered
6 thin slices of fully cooked ham (cooked bacon strips also work)
6 poached eggs
paprika, if desired

Make Hollandaise sauce; keep warm. Cook meat in 1 tsp butter over medium heat until light brown on both sides; keep warm. Make poached eggs. Place one slice of meat on each muffin half. Top with egg. Spoon warm Hollandaise sauce over eggs. Sprinkle with paprika, if desired.

How to Poach an Egg (for those, like me, who need a quick lesson):Heat 1.5 to 2 inches of water to boiling in skillet or saucepan. Use large enough pan so eggs do not touch while cooking. Reduce to simmering. Break egg into custard cup. Carefully slip egg into water (hold cup close to surface of water for best shape and to avoid splashing). Cook about 5 minutes or until white and yolks are firm, not runny. Remove with a slotted spoon.
