Calling All Cooks!

Ok family, let’s make a cookbook! Notice the title is not "Calling Only Good Cooks", so don’t let any of those excuses start slipping in.

I’ve been considering this for some time, and I’ve finally decided to make it happen. I’ve started to compile all of my favorite recipes so that I have everything I love to make all in one convenient place. I would love it if everyone in the family contributed. You can send your recipes to me via email by typing the recipe directly into the email, or attaching a word document.

Please do not get overwhelmed. I fully expect them to trickle in over the next few months. My goal is to work on this project for at least one hour each week. I worked on typing recipes yesterday and now I’m half finished with all those in my cookbook! Of course there are others in various places that I still need to type up, and Michael has several as well, but I was really surprised at how fast it went.

So, warm up those typing fingers and keep them coming. Even one or two recipes every week will help our cookbook grow!

Now for the not fun part; the deadline is November 30th. I hate to do this, but it’s good for me. And, whether you’re willing to admit it or not, it’s good for you too. We all procrastinate, and I don’t want this project to just fizzle and die. The good news is that this is almost 4 whole months! That’s a lot of time.

So, let me see them! I’m anxiously awaiting the flood of recipes!
