write a cook book

but it is MY recipe and it’s going to be published in the cookbook for my sons school! :] It’s better than nothing.

I posted my recipe for my apples, a girl messaged me to say she made them. Then I got a response from her this morning and she said they were so good she almost ate them all herself! I’m sooo happy to have positive feedback on a recipe that I put out there :) its very encouraging.

To my online journal…Eventually I think I’ll just have THAT printed out. :P I have more recipes I need to add to it…I’ve been busy…and well everyone knows how that goes. But I finally got 2 new ones in there.

I’ve got a collection going already, I also found a place online where I could put it together complete pages with pictures and everything. They let me design the pages and the covers everything…they can even have it printed & shipped off for me. Its all very exciting…this first one is all mixed foods. My 2nd one is going to be all baked goods :) I already have like 4 ideas!!

is my journal where I keep my recipes & even added some pictures :) I figure its a start.

I actually wrote down…or attempted to keep track of the ingredients I used in my dinner tonight. I mainly did it to count calories. I discovered that it was NOT very low cal but if you use portion control you will be ok. BUT I know there are ways to make it low cal so my next thing is to do it that way & still make it taste super yummy. I still have some so I may plate some up & take a picture of it. I started a food log today so Im going to get exact calorie counts & what not :] Im on my way!

Yesterday I was telling a co worker of my latest creation in the kitchen & she said “You should write a cook book!” lol I told her I’ve been trying to! Im going to do my best to go through and write down each recipe I make as well as take a picture I know I’ve been saying that…I actually have some already. I just have to figure out how to write down measurements. I don’t really measure too much its all by smell & taste. Im gonna start now though!

On paper. I added this today because it’s something I want to get serious about. I think I have a talent & I want to put it to good use. I met a woman who is very much like me and she’s following her dream. If she can do it I can too :]

I want to try to make a “NEW” recipe at least once a week. I was thinking how nice it would be to do it like Sunday’s or something like that. Maybe every other Sunday or something I could invite his family or mine over for dinner. I love my man to death but he’d eat anything I put in front of him. Even if he really didn’t like it. He loves me and wouldn’t hurt my feelings by saying something wasn’t good. ;]

I’ve got a lot of ideas…and I think I should put them to good use. I went in to a new coffee shop place & saw many over priced treats in there. I told myself I could make them for half the price & probably make em taste better. I think I challenged myself without knowing it.

I made a whole chicken, slow cooked it while I was at work. Came home shredded it & made some of the BEST chicken tacos ever. I EVEN managed to remember to take a few pictures Im proud of myself. Tonight I update em & post MY slow cooked chicken recipe :) Ive created my journal just for my recipes…. http://community.livejournal.com/nays_yummies/ hopefully I can keep it updated as much as I really want to. It’s something I don’t want to let slip by.
