    Oh I am definitely going to be submitting a lot of recipes! More excuses for food photography! Should we use our usernames in the "name" section or real names or does it matter?

    I have to try to remember what I did when I invented these strawberry shortcake cupcakes yesterday, because they are awesome.

    I think.. that for suggesting this awesome idea, that each of you should make these recipes and fed-ex me samples. :@)

    I might have to give y'all some "real" New Orleans, Louisiana flavor from your resident cajun. ;)

    @finallyfree2bme I SOOO miss good cajun food. I am originally from Texas and the two things I miss about it most are Mexican food and Cajun food. People up here just have very bland tastes

    I don't eat seafood - it makes me a bad cajun food lover - but I love the cajun flavor

    I miss the food from new Orleans that is for sure. I lived in metairie and went to college in chalmette. I miss Dots diner and raising canes! Man that canes dipping sauce is priceless. Oh and the crawfish ugh...I learned how to eat and cook while living there.

    Can we add some 'recipe's' from our thread on Ichiban noodles? :)   (j/k)

    I would love to buy this cookbook.

    Unfortunately, I don't have any amazing recipes to share. The one time I made some amazing lemon pepper chicken type soup I didn't write everything down that I put in the crock pot so I have no way to recreate it.

    There was a simple pork chop recipe that I got on here from a thread on recipes. It was delicious. I can't remember who even posted it but it was great. That could go in here.

    I can't wait!

    Hey ladies!! There aren't too many recipe submissions so far. To consider getting this printed for you we need a lot more participation, otherwise we will have to scrap the idea :-(

    Is there a time limit for this? I am putting together my frozen foods dishes soonish (whenever our stuff gets here) and I have an AMAZING lasagna recipe to add!

    Grr! I LOVE to read recipes and get ideas, i own loooads of cook books, but when i cook myself i just totally make it up! Like completely just wing it! I made @curious' AWESOME rhubarb rib sauce recipe and i know next time now I will just estimate stuff. I did anyway! here we dont measure in 'cups'. I just used a plastic mug of ds's! I figured it was a cup, it would do! And aslong as the proportions were right it would be grand ;)  
    Im going to borrow my mum's cookbook and see what ive made/modified and see what I can do to submit :)

    @nikki - I have a ton of recipes I could submit, but I don't have pictures of any of them.  At this point, I'd have to cook each one and take a picture.

    Maybe remove the picture requirement and we'd get more responses??
  • LesboMomLesboMom

    @nikki I think that is actually a really good idea. I have plenty of recipes with no pictures - they are nice - but not necessary I don't think

    I really want to do this and I have pics for some of them but, since I'm working from my phone only, I can't load the pics on that form :(
    I prefer not to think before speaking. I like being just as surprised as everyone else by what comes out of my mouth.

    Is there any way I could just email my recipes or something? I have quite a lot and to put them into that template individually would take a while. I'm working from my phone only as I don't have a computer but I can use ms word at work on my lunch or my email to type stuff up.

    Sweet, I will work on these and get them to u by the beginning of the week. I can post links here to pics of them also if you want. I have a bunch of pics on fb of food that I made (cuz I was THAT girl for a minute lol) and I can steal them from fb and load them on photobucket to put here. I will title them so u know what they are. Sorry to be a pain in the ass, but I am an aspiring chef so I will make it worth it by giving u LOTS of recipes :D

    @lesomom I considered starting a book/food blog but I didn't know how and I didn't know if I could keep up with it. Plus I was told u should limit it to one or the other and if it's books it should be one specific genre. How the hell am I supposed to narrow down my interests?? Lol oh well now I can use that time to read or cook instead of blogging about it :)
