Joy's Luscious Recipes

Welcome to my delicious family recipes site! Where Scrumtuously luscious recipes are joyously created!

Cooking and eating good food has always been one of the great pleasures of my life. On this site I've tried to assemble some of my favorite recipes, both so I can keep track of them myself and so that others can share them. I've also included some cooking tips I've learned through the years, and links to other recipe and cooking sites that I enjoy.

I first became interested in cooking as a child. I hated the plain old foods that my Mom cooked. They were good, but I favored the ones that she mixed up with special ingredients. In reality, I later realized that they were the same old foods she prepared every day, they just seemed special because of the way she served them. Then later I opened a restaurant, and realized that it was the combinations of food that made people want to come back to my place. My specialty is cooking wonderfully delicious home cooked food on a strict budget, these days. I have four kids who love to eat. I'll be sharing a variety of recipes here on this site. Bon Apetite!

An exciting part of having children at home, is the challenge to present meals that are healthy, quick to prepare, and ready to eat at various times during the day.  I find it's easiest to do this by using the crock pot and turning it on low as we start serving.  With kids coming home from various activities at different times, I often need to spread dinner over three or four hours.  When you find a recipe here that you like particularly well, be sure you comment on our guest book, or send me an email.

Please sign my guestbook and let me know what you think of this site. Also feel free to contribute to this site with your own tips and recipes. You may send them to my email address at seekingjoy@msn.com

Are you a mom?  Most women have chosen a route far more intense than glamorous for their lives.  We've decided what we want out of life and struck out to accomplish that which we perceive will enlighten, strengthen, and fulfill our dreams of a future for our children.  Along with those opportunities come needs that are important in our lives.  We must be fulfilled.  We must be refueled as we give to others, we must somehow receive refreshment ourselves.
 
Opportunities abound as we strive to maintain the freedom to be who we want to be.  We can work from home to provide for our children while we educate them.  We can share our talents with others while working to connect and network through lives that are similar and compliment our own.  Our space is filled up with sharing and hope, if we only attempt to give more than we receive.
