Hi, Johanna! I am glad to have connected with you on C-E-S and look forward to exchanging ideas. In many ways, we are all beginning, because you can never know it all. So take heart and enjoy this site. There are multitudes of really talented cooks who are anxious to share their recipes with others on all levels, so don't be shy about asking for suggestions, recipes, ideas, explanations. I know you joined last October, but you MUST have another family fav to share. I hope you'll look at my recipes and stay in touch. Best wishes for great cooking! Amos

Hi Johanna,
Thanks for following me. I'm following you back and look forward to viewing your recipes. Your 3 bean chili looks really good. I'll have to try it sometime.

Hi!
Just read your comment about being a beginner. Your recipe sounds good! I bet you will be an expert by the time those three boys are grown! Enjoy, they grow up too fast...I raised two boys. I love taste of home recipes!
