Hello John!

I am new to this site, but not to cooking, though I am not the greatest cook. I can not have spicy foods due to acid reflux/ulcer problem, so I use herbs to flavor foods.
I don't have the cookbooks you do, but I do collect them. Do you have any recipes for baking? I love to do that.

Hi John, I'm honored! I'm not the greatest cook but my mom was. I learned a lot from her so was not totally clueless when I married. So glad for her influence and really excited to have you follow me. Many of my recipes are not my own but I try to name them or give credit to the person who gave it to me. That is if I remember who. We have a wonderful food section every Thursday in the Morning Advocate here in Baton Rouge. I look forward to it every week. Thanks for being my "Food Friend".

  Hi Tony - sorry for the late reply. My best tip for eating healthy and cheap is...brown rice and dried beans & legumes. You can buy both of these in bulk so inexpensively! We always have a 25lb bag of brown rice (though we often mix it with white rice cuz our kids like that better) and usually dried lentils, chick, split, and black eyed peas, pinto, peruvian, black, red, cannellini, and kidney beans. You can make the rice and beans, with some onion, garlic, maybe tomato to complement, and have a little meat on the side. The rice an bean portion is incredibly healthy and inexpensive. The rice and beans also make great soups in the winter. Can't wait to try a few of your recipes and hope you'll enjoy mine!

Dear Mr. Spottiswood- This is a short and i hope sweet message from Lisa McQueen Reid, in Meaford, Ontario. Hi and how are you today? It was nice to hear from you! Please do not send me any recipes that involve using a grill. I don't have a grill and shave no intention of getting one. But easy and healthy pasta recipes are always more than welcome, as well as soup and salad recipes! Thank you very much, sincerely, Lisa.

You mention eating all kinds of different foods from different nationalities. But you didn't say anything about trying French Canadian cuisine. If I can I will give u a couple of recipes you might enjoy. Will contribute them when I get a chance.

I stumbled onto this site trying to find food ideas for my daughter who is on the Fiengold Diet and we basically have to make everything from scratch and I am not that great of a cook. Looking forward to trying different recipes and seeing how they turn out. I would cook easy open out of the box or can foods but since we can no longer do that I am finding the food taste much better and it a lot healthier. Now I just have to get new ideas because when you only learn a couple they get old fast. Thanks for friending me and for the website.
