This blog is a culmination of recipes that I can send as a present to my sister as she leaves for college next year.

I want to assemble a variety of recipes ranging from cheap and easy, romantic, speedy quick, healthy, crockpot slow cookers, and dinners that could feed the whole block.   Along with the recipes I would like to pair a possible delicious dinner beer or wine or non-alcoholic drink with each meal.

This feels almost like a real-life version for the "Julie & Julia" movie.   I have until the beginning of May to get multiple recipes with pictures, drinks, and a writeup.  So, here we go!!
