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.

Pigs In A Blanket (Cresent Dogs)

We were at my mom and dads house a short time ago and my mom made a pig in the blanket for my grandson.  This brought back memories of when I was small and mom would make a bunch of these and we would go to the drive in movie as a family.  We would also take along popcorn and as my dad called it swamp water.  Swamp water was a mix of purple and green kool aid and lemonade.  It made for great times.

The recipe come from the Pillsbury site.

Ingredients

8 hot dogs
4 slices (3/4 oz each) American cheese, each cut into 6 strips
1 can (8 oz) cresent rolls

2 Separate dough into triangles. Wrap dough triangle around each hot dog. Place on ungreased cookie          sheet, cheese side up.
