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.

Snickerdoodle Muffins

Loved these.  But then as I always thell people, "Santa has never met a cookie he didn't like" and I do love snickerdoodles.  Make it into a muffin and loife is really good.  The recipe comes from: http://tastykitchen.com/recipes/breads/snickerdoodle-muffins-3/

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Butter, Softened

  • 1 cup Sugar

  • 2 whole Eggs

  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla

  • 2-¼ cups Flour

  • ¾ teaspoons Baking Powder

  • ¾ teaspoons Baking Soda

  • ¾ teaspoons Cream Of Tartar

  • ½ teaspoons Salt

  • 1 cup Sour Cream

  • ¼ cups Buttermilk

  • _____

  • FOR THE TOPPING:

  • ⅔ cups Sugar

  • 2 Tablespoons Cinnamon


  • Directions
    Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Prepare a muffin tin with liners. (I learned the hard way that they are too fragile for just cooking spray.)

    In a mixer, combine the butter and sugar and cream until fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla and combine.
    In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients. Add half of the dry ingredients to the mixing bowl and stir to combine. Add the sour cream and buttermilk and mix to combine. Add the rest of the dry ingredients and mix until you have a smooth batter.

    In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon for the topping.

    Use scooper and plop a scoop of batter into the bowl with the sugar and cinnamon. Gently roll the batter in the sugar and cinnamon. Place the ball into the muffin liner.

    When you have completed all of the muffins, sprinkle the leftover cinnamon sugar onto the tops of all of the muffins.

    Bake the muffins at 350ºF for about 15-18 minutes or until they are golden on top and just baked through.
