Ventana Neighborhood Recipe Blog!

Hi Ladies,
Remember when we kept asking and begging for recipes for a ward cook-book over the last many months?   We came to a decision recently to ditch the paper cook-book idea and do one online.  This has so many advantages, including the ability to add recipes to it indefinitely and include more people as we go too.  Also, since the ward split, we can now include the whole neighborhood seamlessly and not restrict the fun to a single ward.  Not to mention - the price is nice!

Kristie and I have been working on making the online "cook-book" as a recipe blog.  It's finally up and running.  There might be a bit of tweaking left to do, but the blog is now functional and ready to use.

Please go to Ventana Recipes  to view and use the new blog.  Please pay attention to the specific instructions on the sidebar there for using the blog - both for posting and finding recipes.  We want to keep it very organized so that recipes can be found easily (LABELS!!!) and also as private as possible, so please don't use last names.

One more important note.  Some of us have used this "helpingmysistas" blog to share recipes in the past.  You are still welcome to do that, but if you do, please post it on the recipe blog as well, since it will be more easily used in the future if it is there.

Also, we have done our best to get the recipes posted accurately.  If you come across something that looks like your recipe isn't right, please let us know!  I copied and pasted everything very quickly and didn't stop to do much proof-reading.  On that same note, we've included the first name and initial of the person who submitted the recipe, so you could also contact that person for further instructions if you are unsure or would like further instruction on a recipe.

A huge thank you to everyone who participated and sent in recipes!  Everything looks very yummy.  No one has any excuses this week for not knowing what to cook for dinner :)
