A Present Idea

So my little cousin is getting married in December. And I'm feeling a little guilty. Not because she's getting married but because I kinda harass her about her cooking skills. As in I say she doesn't have any. So I decided I want to do something for her. I want to make her a book of recipes. So what I was wondering/hoping was that y'all would be willing to help. I'd like recipes. Anything...she's kinda adventurous and I want her to try different things--cooking wise.

So for the beginning it will just be her and her husband, but I'm also sure they will be having people over so things for just two would be good, but also things for more. I want anything--doesn't just have to be dinners or anything--deserts are good too and other things.

The wedding is in December like I said so I'd like to have everything together by the beginning of the month so I can put the book together and maybe have it bound. You can send the recipes to my email at rebkreyling@gmail.com If you do send me one, please include what name you'd like me to use because I intend to put the name of the person who gives me to recipe with it.

Thanks y'all!

Absolutely! Just send the recipe to my email along with the name you'd like me to use. I've got a few months before I need to have everything together, but I figure if I start now I won't be racing before the wedding.

I enlisted her sister to help me contact her friends. And I may ask her if she can get me in touch with her friends...I'm also gonna hit up her sister in law soon. I'm trying NOT to let her know what's going on.

I have a couple of good - REALLY GOOD - but easy recipes that I will send you, once I find my cooking books & recipes. I try to look this weekend.

I think it might be cool if you organized the cook book into sections - not so much "appetizer" "entree" "dessert" but maybe "just starting out" "getting the hang of it" and "now you're really cooking" sort of sections - easy to intermidiate to more difficult.

Just a thought.

*nods* Much appreciated.

That's actually what I was thinking of doing...with a section labeled "for the MAN" which is a joke between Jerry and I. With like manly meals and grilling stuff...but I have to wait and see what I get first. And I'm planning to do some on-line searching too.

If you like, i have some easy chicken recipes along with a couple of dessert ones. I also have ideas/tips/tricks for changing everything around without changing the cooking method that I could include if you like.

Absolutely! Just send them along...I'll start going through things in a few days.
