COOKING CHALLENGE 2010

I just join a cooking challenge with my friends over at Creative scrapbooking Divas. This challenge is the prefect time for me because I prepare all my favorite recipes for the up coming Holiday Season.
The purpose of this challenge for a layout or mini of any size is to celebrate your favorite desserts--eating them, making them, preparing the ingredients, or the ingredients themselves. If anyone would like to join in just post your recipes and photos here if you are a crafter I would love to see your layouts and completed book. Keep in mind; if you are completing this challenge, it’s for your end of the year book, you want to keep sizes and colors consistent for a unified recipe book project.

Cookin Challenge 1 –Dessert
Show eating them, making them, preparing the ingredients, or the ingredients themselves.

Cookin Challenge 2 --Cooking out of doors
The concept is to show how you celebrate cooking out of doors, be it grilling, tailgating, picnicking, etc.

Cookin Challenge 3 -- Sides
For this challenge, think about a side dish that is unique to your family. Does one particular person make this dish? Celebrate the ingredients with the recipe, or show that person creating the dish, or present us with the final food product!
