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.

Raspberry Cake



My mom sent me this recipe today.  She got it from kraftrecipes.com.  She mixed 2 cups of raspberries with 3 cups of rhubarb.  When my dad came in from mowing the lawn and had piece of the cake, he said "this is my new favorite cake".  This is a good testimonial as to the taste.

Ingredients

5 cups fresh raspberries (I used about two cups of raspberries and about three of rhubarb, only because that's what I had.)
1 cup sugar
1 3-oz pkg strawberry jello
3 cups mini marshmallows
1 white cake mix (two-layer size)
2 cups thawed Coolwhip

Directions
 
Heat oven to 350'. Grease 13x9" pan. Spread raspberries (and/or rhubarb) in bottom of pan. Sprinkle evenly with sugar and dry jello. Cover with marshmallows.


Prepare cake mix as directed on package; pour over marshmallows.

Bake 50-60 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool. Frost with Coolwhip.
