Retired with 3 adult children. I love the opportunity to utilize this site for new recipes and saved favourites. If my family really enjoys a recipe, I will either print or save it. Before I try any new recipe, I check all of it's reviews just to see what tips others would give. I am a seasoned enough cook to make modifications to recipes but will always follow the recipe to the T the first time I make it. If there is tweaking to be done to suit our tastes I will post a review and follow the info. the second time.
