My brother and his girlfriend just moved out of town and decided to start cooking at home instead of eating out all the time (duh!). I told him that I would get him some great recipes to try. I sent him a few from the Season's Best that I could just copy and paste from CC but haven't had time to sit down and type any out of the cookbooks. I'm looking for simple, fun recipes. I don't think they are too picky, just want some ideas to start cooking at home. I figured I would ask here, especially if you already have it typed up so I can just copy and paste! :balloon: Thanks alot!
 
I love the rings

Here are a few that I have typed up -
just print these on blank index cards 4 x 6

Let them know that they can make any ring own there own - whatever their favorite sandwich is can be turn into a ring - I have also included a card to show how to make a ring - my host and guest ask me to draw them a picture because when I do it at show - it looks easy so they say so I did a card up for them.

More to come

If you can, you could print all of these (that is if you think they would like them) and put the recipes are in a recipe binder/box

A very nice gift.

Thanks Kelly and Teresa! I cannot wait to send these to him. I'm glad to hear they are going to cook at home more, my brother has always loved to cook. Skillet Lasanga is one of my favorites, I was planning on passing that on to him.

Speaking of Skillet Lasanga, I was at the grocery store last night and they had mini lasanga noodles. I think I'll try those next time instead of breaking up the bigger ones.

I don't remember the brand but it was in a green box! I was looking for the pasta to make the BLT mac and cheese and ran across it. They sort of look like Hamburger Helper Lasanga noodles.
