Welcome to Cooking With Diane!

Thanks for stopping by my blog! I hope that you will enjoy trying these recipes. Most of them are what I would consider to be relatively easy to prepare and fairly quick. You will find that some of them are very forgiving and you can make a small amount or a large amount depending on your needs.

It's mostly up to you. If a recipe calls for peas and you really like peas, you can add a little more. If not so much, add less. A lot of the time when I'm cooking it's based on what I have in the house and how much time I have for the preparation.

Please feel free to post questions in the comments section and I will answer you as soon as possible.
