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.

Cake Batter Rice Krispie Treats

This recipe and picture came from {sally's baking addiction} blog
http://sallysbakingaddiction.com/2012/03/25/cake-batter-rice-krispie-treats/

I made these treats today while my grandson was here.  I let him lick the spoon and he said "these a re great grandpa. I want some more"  SO I cut him another piece and sent some home with him to share with his family.

Ingredients
  • 3 tbsp butter (i use land o lake light butter)
  • 1 (10 oz.) bag of marshmallows
  • 2/3 cup boxed yellow or white cake mix (the dry cake mix)
  • 6 cups rice krispie cereal
  • 1/2 cup sprinkles
Instructions
  1. Spray a 11×7 baking pan with nonstick spray. Set aside.
  2. In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the butter.
  3. Add the marshmallows and stir constantly. Once the marshmallows are completely melted, stir in the dry cake mix. Turn off the stove.
  4. Stir in the cereal until it is completely coated with the marshmallow mixture. Mix in half of the sprinkles. Press into prepared baking pan and top with the remaining sprinkles. (When I press rice krispie treats into a pan, I use a spatula sprayed with nonstick spray, making it easier to press down)
  5. Chill for at least 30 minutes and cut into squares.
