For many years, one of my favorite hobbies has been to collect recipes that were easy and fun to use. My first collection of recipes was on recipe cards while I was still in high school. Some of my favorite recipes came from cookbooks written in the early 1900s. When we moved our family to the Colombian Amazon region, the need for simple recipes became greater than before. Of course we got to eat some really "wild" creatures, so I included some of those stories for your enjoyment. I like to be able to cook with ease so most of my recipes ended up on card style magnets on the side of the fridge. These are some that are on my fridge, in that same format. I hope you will add some of your favorites in spaces I left blank. I don't like to have to search long for a recipe so I put the categories in alphabetical order for easy searching. I hope you let me know how you enjoyed and maybe changed my recipes. Happy meals to you!
