A few months ago, I asked Candra what she wanted me to get her as a gift. Yes, I'm aware that they have a registry, but I wanted to get a gift that she really, really wanted and that she would love. To my surprise, what she told me was not on her registry. She wanted a collection of my favorite recipes.
I don't typically follow a recipe. I just throw stuff in until it smells good. So, for several weeks, I made dishes that she's said she loves and dishes that we use in our monthly meal plan, and then I carefully eyeballed the measurements and wrote them down. I took a few pictures of each dish and designed an album on Shutterfly.
If I'm being honest, I find great joy in making people cry. Not by being mean, but just by showering them with so much love that they cry. Cue evil laughter. When she opened their gift, she cried and really that's all that mattered to me!
If you were at the shower and want to know which recipes I put in the book, I've compiled a list of all of those recipes below.
