The latest idea...
A few days ago after searching endlessly through little scraps of paper and recipe book after recipe book trying to find my favorite salad recipe I said out loud, "I need to get all of these floating recipes into one place!" Hence The Recipe Hut was born. I thought that some of you may be interested in a few new recipes as well. So feel free to search, experiment and hopefully enjoy.
