Welcome

Last night as we ate and chatted at Recipe night, we decided we wanted access to the recipes right after we ate them, plus any other favorites that you might have. We decided that we would make them available on a blog for those of you who want them. Also it makes it easier on the ones putting in the recipes if you would do it yourself! :) I hope this works out and everyone participates, even if you can't make it to the recipe night.
