I’ve Cooked Up An Idea…

I’ve been working on something lately, and I’m not quite sure yet if the idea is inspired or just crazy.

I’m making my own cookbook.

I’ve hired a local photographer and she came twice last week to take pictures of the first 40 recipes. So much cooking happened. For both our sanity’s sakes we decided to only do 20 recipes per week even if it meant taking a little longer to get all the recipes pictured.

I’ve been collecting recipes since I was 12, and this will be a compilation of the ones I use most in my everyday cooking. Nothing too fancy, but a lot of basic simple food.

I’ll have a canning section as well as a section on easy meals – crockpot dinners, or meals you can put in the oven and forget about until mealtime.

There will also be Alaskan lifestyle portions sprinkled throughout, as well as stories from hiking, salmon fishing, or hunting.

I’m not sure yet if I’ll self publish or submit it to publishers, but I do want to make sure I get most if not all the writing and pictures finished before the baby comes. Newborn is my busy season.

This won’t be a quick process, but I thought I’d go ahead and share so I can take you along on the journey!
