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.

Cinnamon Candied Apples

This recipe comes from our Bishop's wife.  She made this when they had us in their home for dinner.  They are very good, especially if they sit in the fridge for a couple of days.

Ingredients

6 medium tart apples (I used Braeburn)

2 cups water
1 cup sugar
1 cup red-hot candies

Directions
 
Peel and core apples. Slice lengthwise for cooking. In a large saucepan over medium heat, bring the water, sugar and candies to a boil, stirring constantly until sugar and candies are dissolved. Reduce heat; carefully add apples. Cook uncovered, until apples are tender, about 8 minutes. May be served hot or cold. If made in advance the color will deepen as they sit in the syrup.
