got some really good looking recipes here; I favorited this one, can't wait to try some of these! Thank you very much for sharing!

Welcome to MFP. I am new to the site also but so far think it is awesome! I have a bit of Celt in me as well (maiden name McDaniel) Hope to see you on the boards and good luck on your journey!!! Kathy
