Visiting this recipe site has been such a pleasure for me over the last few years. I have learned so much from it, talked with so many people, and had some really fun times here! I joined this site shortly after my bout with cancer. After all the treatments, cooking was what I needed to make my life "normal" again. I learned so many great recipes that I cooked for my family and my husband. I spent a year away from this site because I needed to lose weight, now I am 60 pounds lighter, divorced and cancer free!! Wow!! How things change! But I am so glad to see that AllRecipes is still here, and so are many of my friends! Appetizers, finger foods. I love inviting friends over and loading my kitchen up with all kinds of mini sandwiches, meatballs, dips. I usually have 5 crockpots going at once, each one with a warm dip or appetizer of some kind. When I have friends over for parties or the holidays, I always let my husband cook the meat, either on the grill or in the oven. I enjoy preparing the side dishes and the appetizers. I have tried so many wonderful recipes from this site. I have finally found so many perfect dishes that I will continue to make from now on. I learn so much from the reviews from other cooks. It really helps to know that you are not the only one that makes mistakes sometimes!!! Uh, well....there have been many! I will never forget the time I tried to bake a banana pudding! And just the other day I left the cream cheese out of cream cheese bars! Let's just say my garbage disposal never goes hungry!!!
