Recipes? Recipes?? WTF are these doing here?

For most of my life I knew nothing about cooking and rarely made anything more complicated than an occasional, simple breakfast.

But from around 2010, with the "encouragement" of my wife, I started cooking dinners regularly.

I didn't enjoy it.

I had no idea what I was doing, it was stressful, and the results were often less than acceptable.

But after a while, I started feeling comfortable, and the whole process of shopping, prepping the ingredients, and cooking the meal became relaxing... and rewarding. Cooking also became a much-needed distraction and stress-reliever when things were hectic with my work.

Currently, these pages have only a few of the many basic recipe instructions copied from my notebook titled, "Floyd's Easy Recipes". These have served mostly as a reminder, to myself, of the ingredients and steps for preparing each dish.

Eventually I'll add more preparation details, photographs, perhaps some video, and of course, more recipes.

I'm sure there are many improvements experienced cooks can make to my recipes & instructions.

But, if you're new to cooking, like I was, then some of these simple dishes could help you get started, and maybe even impress a friend or family member.
