My name is Michael Rogers and I live in Rocklin, California. I have four children who are trying to eat us out of house and home. My recipes have to be very scalable to accommodate such large appetites. Plus, my wife runs a day care business and I have my own computer consulting company; so our time is limited. I love to cook but frequently lack the time for long preparations. Allrecipies has be a life saver for me on more than one occasion. Breads Meats Pasta / sauces Breakfast Dessert / cookies I once made croissants and forgot to add the yeast. The came out ok, but very, very small.
