Side dish ideas are great too! I love when they put in suggestions for recipes..

we can also have a side dish section too



Hayley I am naming you my official cronie one this -grins- You're the cook, I am just the art and putting it together. I want it to look liek a real cookbook and be easy to navigate.

Like I LOVE RR but she doesn't usually say what to serve with her main entrees so it would be nice if we could have a side dish section and then under the recipe, put the siggested side dishes and the page they're on.

Like we usually serve our honey salmon with my balsamic vinegar and cheese asparagus. So i would indicate under the salmon that it coudl be served with that and the page number.



umm do you have that asparagus recipe online? LOL i am making that orange chicken tonight ( it was on the chicken broth can ) with white rice but i think asparagus would go GREAT!!!!!!!



Oh yea I do. Let me find you the link Tilde. Its sooo good. My brother and my dad always come back for seconds and they usually belong to the "I don't eat stinking vegetables" train of thought.

Re: What do you girls think of........

Here you go Matilde:

OVEN ROASTED ASPARAGUS RECIPE:

INGREDIENTS
1 pound fresh asparagus spears, trimmed (Like 1 bundle)
1 tablespoon olive oil (I eyeball it-just drizzle to your taste over all the spears)
1tablespoon balsamic vinegar (I eyeball it-just drizzle to your taste over all the spears)
salt and pepper to taste
pecorino romano cheese (I use some stuff from Costco)

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

2. Wash, trim ends and arrange asparagus on aluminum foil on a baking sheet.

2. Drizzle oilive oil then balsamic vinegar all over asparagus. (use more or less depedning on taste) Sprinkle cheese on top -eyeball what you like.

3. Stick in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until they start to get crispy brown on top.

DONE!

Delicious and even veggie haters like my dad and Bro scarf this down.

Exactly! I have made it in the toaster too. You can make it ina grill pan too but the balsamic vinegar gets sticky. I'd put a piece of aluminum foil down on the baking sheet to protect it.

Well we will be collecting recipes over time so if you make anything you like over the next few weeks, just send it. I am thinking that between getting the recipes and pictures, then organizing, it will be be at least a month before the book is finished. Probably longer. sos end away!

OOO Tara that is a GREAT idea! I know I like FAST during the week also. I have a few that I love that are reall quick and easy.

Hmm maybe we can have a section too of "must have Ingredients"

You know, the ttype of stuff we should always have in our kitchens for quick easy meals like diced tomatoes (a must have in my kitchen) fresh produce, certain herbs etc.

Yes, and we can even do for the ingredients... "Shopping list" and "Basics"

for example...

shopping list:
asparagus

basics:
extra virgin olive oil
sea salt
balsamic vinegar

or whatever .... unless that's too much work!

Awesome!

When I make the "official" thread for recipes, just start submitting whatever recipes you have according to the format guidelines. I will be runnign them all through MS word to make them look the same before we put them into the book.

We need pictures too if you have them. Like when you make one of your creations, just grab the camera and snap a pic. When I worked at the bookstore years ago I found books with full color photos always sold better than oens without pics.

Deal! unfortunately, I don't have any pics of what I've made in the past but I'll try to take pics of future recipes.

Sounds good! Most of us dont photograph our food regularly lol which is why i figure in two months or so is a good "deadline" because then most of us will probably repeat a few recipes and you can snap pics then. I dont have any pics but I know I am making ym stuffed feta chicken and asparagus this week along with the carbonara so I will definetly take pics.
