Welcome to Cookin’ for College … and Beyond

This blog is a place to post recipes and meal ideas that we can all share! I planned to compile a recipe book for my daughters. As each one got married I’d think, “This is the time to get that recipe book done.” However, I’ve found that when you’re planning a wedding isn’t the ideal time to start another big project and it never got done. Now my baby is off to college and again I’ve thought I should make a recipe book. Well, with technology, my idea is evolving to something a little more open to all of us who want to contribute and benefit. I thought we could just add recipes as comments, but if you don't add Labels (which you can't do in comments) it won't show up in the search. So if you have a recipe to add, please e-mail me or put a comment requesting to be an author and I'll add you as an author. Then you can put your recipe in with Labels and it will be "searchable". If you just have a meal idea rather than a recipe, please label it “Meal Idea” so that when you use the search bar at the top it will bring up all the meal ideas. Feel free to add descriptive word Labels like “Cheap”, “5-Minute” or “Special Occasion” as well. Do the same when you post a recipe. Add as many Labels as people might use to search for your recipe, including of course, the title. Everything you add to describe your recipe or meal idea will make it easier for Blog users to search for and find it later. We'll try this and then tweak the instructions as we figure out what works. Thanks!!
