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.

Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas

This is another one of those recipes I am not sure where it came from, but it is good.

Ingredients

2 12 1/2 ounce cans chunk chicken, well drained
1 4 ounce can diced green chilies, well drained
1 15 ounce can stewed, whole tomatoes, drained
¼ teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground pepper
1/3 cups vegetable oil
1 dozen corn tortillas
1 16 ounce container sour cream
2 teaspoon parsley flakes chopped
   salt to taste
2 cups grated longhorn cheese
parsley flakes as garnish

Directions

In a large mixing bowl, combine chicken, chilies and tomatoes. Blend well. Mix in salt and pepper. Lightly grease 9x13" pan. Preheat oven to 350'. In a fry pan, heat oil. Have chicken mixture close at hand. Reduce heat to medium, then lightly soften each tortilla, one at a time. Using tongs or fork, lift from oil and let drain. Be careful not to tear tortillas. Place 2 heaping tbsp of chicken mixture in each tortilla & roll tortilla up snugly. Repeat until all tortillas are rolled and placed in greased pan. In mixing bowl combine sour cream, parsley flakes and salt to taste. Mix well. Smooth sour cream mixture over enchiladas. Spread as evenly as possible over surface and over ends of enchiladas. Sprinkle grated cheese over sour cream, then sprinkle with parsley flakes. Cover with aluminum foil. Leave enough room to keep enchiladas from sticking. Bake 30-35 mins. Cool a few mins & serve. Serves six.
