Recipe Box

Welcome to our digital recipe box.

In our kitchen, we keep a metal recipe box full of all of our favourite recipes.  I am a visual person so, when planning our weekly meals, I like to pull out the recipes we want to have.  I match mains with sides and potentially even a dessert.  With this system, I find it so easy to make my grocery lists.  All the ingredients that I need are right there in front of me.

As our website gets more established, I hope to add our weekly meal plans to our blog.  All recipes there will be linked to this page – our digital recipe box.  In the meantime, I hope you enjoy these recipes!

These recipes are ones that we have found in family recipe boxes, books, websites, and from friends.  They have been changed and adapted over time to meet our needs.  Since we live in a dry climate and at altitude (3500ft above sea level), some of these recipes may need to be adapted to fit your needs.

Our recipes are usually gluten and dairy free but we do like to indulge on occasion.  We love making homemade bread and occasionally cookies.  When it comes to special treats like these, we do include wheat and butter because it makes those treats extra special.

We are omnivores, but we do enjoy vegan meals quite frequently.  To make these easy to find, I have included a vegan recipes section as well.
