I figured it's about time I collected these all in one place. I can't tell you how many times I've thought, "Now how did I make that?" or "Where did I get that recipe from?" I'll plan to update it regularly.
Some observations that probably don't interest anyone but me:
1. We eat a lot of salads.
2. Soups, too.
3. We're not majorly carnivorous, and when we are it's usually chicken.
4. I rarely make the same thing twice for dinner.
5. I like simple, comforting foods.
6. I should be way fatter than I am! (Check out all the desserts.)
Bon appetit!

Fabulous! In your post on the choc-pumpkin cupcakes, you say they're two WW points. Approximately how many calories is that? What about the choc-pumpkin cookies? Thanks :)
