- August 30, 2011Hi, Troy! Thanks for taking an interest in some of my recipes. You & I are of a like mind - we want healthy, tasty, economical and usually easy to prepare meals. I know you will find a few among my postings and in my groups - don't be afraid to step a little out of your comfort zone, that is what we all do and we grow with the experience. I am looking forward to hearing from you after you give one of my recipes a spin. Very best regards, Amos
