I am not sure if I will even share this site with anyone but I as I start tracking the things I cook - I will always reference my sources (I get all of my ideas from the web, cookbooks and magazines) at this point I don't know the legality of this but intend to find out. Meanwhile if my post steps on your toes please let me know and I will take corrective actions.
Thank you for understanding.
