So... I've introduced *recipe day* in the house.. once a week I experiment with food..creating my own take on a recipe, currently anything Asian and mostly on the crock-pot...so it can simmer and cook and I'm not necessarily stuck in the kitchen, specially with the children out of school. I will try to actually measure or at least guesstimate measurement so that I can post the recipes and you can try your own version. I will say right up front.... that don't be skeptical at the amount of spices I put in.
When I first started playing with the crock-pot, following recipes from others I quickly realized that the measurements for spices they gave where good for if I would cook the meal on the stove or in the oven but not in the crock-pot..it would turn out bland since the crock-pot is such a long cooking process that a small amount of spices will have completely cooked out. So I put quite a bit of spice in, or add halfway through to preserve flavor..you might have to add even more, or dial back a bit when you try it, all depends on your own personal taste.
Also...a friend of mine has been haunting my German cookbook and I will get a list from her within the next few days for recipes she would like translated and converted over...so there should be more German recipes up soon too.
And now I have to go write the recipe for my version of crock-pot Mongolian beef down, that is cooking right now and after we tasted it tonight I will post it with a picture.

About *A Culinary Walk to Remember*
I like to cook, as long as it is for others and while we were living in Ft Hood, I did alot of it on holidays for friends, neighbours and some of my husbands soldiers who were stuck on base on holidays and such, or simply wanted food..lol. I used quite a few of the recipes I grew up with, some passed down from my parents, some remembered and some invented. Friends kept asking me for the recipe for this and that and finally the idea was born to put them on a site so that everyone could get to them, without me having to write the recipes out over and over. Course the double effect of me having access and them all in view as well was another bonus.
So this site is just that, a collection of recipes, some fondly remembered from growing up, some passed down from my parents, some simply collected and some my own creation.
Now I am at times lazy so the adding of recipes might go slow and stallward at times and while I rebuild since I lost the other site it might go fast for a bit, though I have to find some of the recipes again because I have no access to the other site, but I am working on getting them all up and adding new ones that I wanted or was expected to added for a while but never got around too.

A new Home
Yes, this is the same collection of recipes and yes, I still need to add quite a few. So why the new Home then you might ask.. well.. the answer is rather simple. I got sort of bit by the Pinterest bug and it seems a lot easier to pin posts from a *blogspot* page than from a *freewebs* one, and that is the whole of it. Now I just hope I figure out how to customize my Blogspot Home for the recipes to make it look just as pretty as the other one. So until I figure that out this one might look a little bland, please bare with me in this.
