This web site contains my favorite recipes. As you look at my recipes, you will notice the majority of the are very simple. This is the type of food my family enjoys most. I spent a number of years cooking for Marriott Corp., a country club, a hotel and an old english restaurant and I have come to enjoy cooking the things my family enjoys. Some of them will have stories and memories of the friends and family that share their recipes with me. Others are ones I have collected from cookbooks, magazines or the internet. I have tried to give credit where credit is due. I hope you enjoy some my favorite recipes.


I want to thank my mother for her patience in teaching me to cook. I started cooking for the family when I was in the sixth grade. My mom was working and my dad was going to school at BYU working on his masters degree. Mom would leave me instructions on what to cook for dinner and if I had questions I would call her. Thanks mom for the help and encouragement. I love you.

Under the tab Rick's Healthy Recipes are of course healthy recipes. There are some Vegan, Vegetarian and of course just plain healthy ones.

Lasagna

This recipe came from an old cookbook put out by Mt. Fuel Gas Company years ago.  Vickie got the recipe from her mother.  If we want to make sure Cathi and Shawn will come to dinner, we tell them we are making lasagna.

Ingredients

½ lb ground beef
1 ½ tsp basil
½ clove garlic, minced
1 tsp salt
1 ½ tsp parsley flakes
1 ¼ cup canned tomatoes
1/3 cup tomato paste

Directions

Simmer uncovered 1 hour stirring occasionally (or cook 20 minutes at 70% power in a microwave). Cook 10 lasagna noodles in boiling salted water until tender. Drain and wash in cold water.

Combine 12 ounces large curd cottage cheese, 1 beaten egg, ¼ tsp pepper, 1 Tbsp parsley flakes, ¼ cup parmesan cheese. Slice ½ pound mozzarella cheese. Place ½ noodles in baking dish, spread ½ cottage cheese mixture, ½ meat, repeat, ½ mozzarella cheese. Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes uncovered. You can double the recipe and freeze one before baking.
