Rainman's Recipe Index!
| OK, so you took the easy way out.....Instead of experiencing these recipes in their "natural" order on my web pages, you "jumped to the end of the novel" as it were. That's OK...even Stephen King gets hungry dreaming up all those scary stories! For those who are REALLY hungry, I've organized the recipes into the following categories. Simply click on what you're looking for, and you'll be magically transported to that category of recipes. As recipes are added elsewhere on this site, they will also be added in this compendium. PSSSST! Hey my brothers and sisters from all mothers and misters (cousins too!) THAT MEANS I'D LIKE YOU ALL TO CONTRIBUTE YOUR RECIPIES here for posterity! |

| Rainman's Chicken Tortilla Soup | I love this recipe so much! It is my favorite of all the soups. I think the key to the flavor is using chili powder and especially smoked paprika in addition to cumin. |

| Best Chicken Tortilla Soup EVER! | One of my most favorite soups among all soups. Easiest way to do this one is to buy a pre-roasted chicken (Sam's Club or Costco), bring it home for lunch, and then use the rest of the bird for stock and soup. |
