Country boy at heart. I like to keep my recipes quick and simple; 6 ingredients or less but with good flavors. More complex recipes are fine upon occasion. Full meals for my family. There's nothing more satisfying than bringing everything together at the end, despite the different cooking times and techniques involved. I grew up watching my Mom cook for our family. From cooking traditional German fare to dinners for six people with whatever she found in the cupboards and refrigerator, no matter how bare. Now I pass on those lessons to my own boys. I've had my share. Here, too, I've had my share. ;-)
