I thought starting a recipe book was a really good idea so here it is. Here, you can submit your own recipes, mom's recipes or just some that you found. here are the different categories of recipes: Main Courses, Salads, Soups, Side Dishes, Desserts, Breads, Appetizers & Beverages. Please keep the recipes short and sweet but make sure all the steps are very clear and understandable. here is the format for the recipes:

Would it not be more logical to merely create this page as an index, sort of like how Joemar did with the writing forum?

^ Recipes. I think it'd save more space if we just grouped/linked the threads by the categories you listed.

Kids, I'm going to make individual threads out of your recipes so that they're easier to find. :] Y'all will be credited of course, of course.
