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.

Healthy Tex Mex Pizza

I got this recipe from the Sept. 2009 Ladies Home Journal Magazine.  I added chicken and olives to  the ones I made.  Vickie said this is a keeper, but put less filling on each tortilla so she could have more tortillas.

Ingredients

4 6-inch corn tortillas
4 tsp olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
1 jalapeno, seeded and finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 cup canned black beans, rinsed
1 cup tomato, seeded and chopped
1 cup jack, cheddar or mozzarella cheese, shredded
2 Tbsp chopped cilantro

Directions

Heat oven to 425 degrees. Lightly brush both sides of the tortillas with 1 tsp olive oil and place on ungreased baking sheet. Bake about 3 minutes per side until crisp and lightly browned.

Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat 3 tsp oil over medium high heat. Add onion, jalapeno and garlic; cook until onion is tender. Stir in black beans and tomato; heat through.

Sprinkle tortillas with half of the cheese and top with bean mixture. Sprinkle evenly with the remaining cheese. Bake 4 minutes or until cheese is melted and sprinkle with cilantro.
