If you are looking for recipes that are tried and true... look no further.

One of my favorite food sites is Lucy Jane's Best.   My friend Shannon who is the founder.  I am not biased at all because I love my friend so much that I named my youngest after her youngest...I promise the food is REALLY good.  I am not a great cook, but the recipes are actually something that I have tried to make myself.  One of my favorites is the Chicken Caesar Wrap.  So go... drool a little, and perhaps find your new favorite recipe!
