Welcome to Cheryl's Menu!

My wife Cheryl is a great cook. She has lots of wonderful recipes, and people are always asking her for this recipe or that. So I thought to myself, a blog would be a great way to share those wonderful recipes and more!

She's also quite craft-y. In fact, she just finished making presents for all of younger sister's daughters: tie-dyed custom t-shirts.

So, hopefully with a little prodding from me, she'll share all of her secrets here, on Cheryl's Menu!
