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.

Mexican Beef Skillet

I made this the other night for dinner.  We liked better as a left over, but either fresh or left over it is good.

Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs. Ground beef
1-2 cups Salsa
1 can Beef broth
1 Large green pepper, chopped
1 Med. onion, chopped
1 tbsp. Light olive oil
1 Packet taco seasoning
8 oz. Sour cream
8 oz. Noodles (egg noodles, rotini, maccaroni, whatever is on hand)
2 cups Cooked corn (optional)
Sliced black olives (optional)
1-2 cups Shredded Cheddar or Mexican Blend Cheese
1 Tomato, chopped (optional)

Preparation

1. In a large skillet, cook and stir ground beef until browned. While it is cooking, chop the green pepper and onion, and put the water on to boil for the noodles.

2. Add the noodles to the boiling water and cook according to the package instructions. Saute the green pepper and onion with olive oil in a small skillet.

3. Stir in salsa, taco seasoning, beef broth, green pepper, onion, corn, and black olives with the ground beef.

4. Stir in noodles and sour cream. Sprinkle liberally with cheese. Cover with a lid until the cheese has melted. Serve with chopped tomatoes on top.
