Recipes and Ideas

Below is a list of posts containing my favorite recipes and meal ideas. Please note that I'm using the term 'recipe' loosely. In instances where the recipe is not my own, I will link to the original source, either on this page directly or within the post itself. However, my personal meal "ideas" do not necessarily have exact ingredient amounts or instructions; it's more of a meal guideline that I (or Doug) came up with while experimenting in the kitchen. If you have questions about any of these, please feel free to contact me by e-mail: stretchjean[at]gmail[dot]com. If you find that I borrowed your recipe but did not include the original link, PLEASE contact me immediately. Pretty sure all original sources have been covered, but we all make mistakes. Thanks!
