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.

Chewy No-Bake Cookies and Cream Treats

I promised the girls at my pulmonologists office a gooey chocolate treat and wanted to try this recipe.  It was a hit with them.  I also went to see my allergist to day and his office also got some.  There is a young lady working in the allergists office that doesn't like chocolate but decided these were pretty good.

This recipe comes from the recipe blog Bakergirl.  Her blog can be found at:  http://buddingbaketress.blogspot.com/2011/07/chewy-no-bake-cookies-cream-treats.html   Check it out.

Ingredients

1 16oz package of Oreo cookies
5 cups (1 bag) large marshmallows
4 Tbsp butter

Directions

Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with aluminum foil, allowing the foil to hang over the edges and set aside.

Place Oreo cookies in a food processor (or crush in a large Ziploc bag with a rolling pin) and pulse until crumbly, but not ground.

Melt marshmallows and butter in a large microwave-safe bowl until puffy, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes.  Remove  from microwave and pour in ground cookies.  Quickly stir to combine, then transfer to baking dish.

Allow to set for 10 to 15 minutes.  Remove bars from pan by foil edges.  Cut, serve and enjoy.
