Welcome to College Cookbooks With Simple Ingredient Recipes!

I just want to shout out "Welcome" to all of you looking for college cookbooks with simple ingredient recipes.

Between my husband and myself, we have FIVE sons between the ages of 19 and 25, so you KNOW I've done a lot of cooking in my day. Although we have only 2 still living with us, cooking and eating are still happy moments in our home.

All of my sons have learned to cook and get creative in the kitchen and they all have a good idea of what ingredients they can substitute in recipes calling for stuff we don't have in the kitchen or just spicing up a regular recipe with herbs and spices just because!

Because FOOD is such a big part of my life, I want to pass on what I've learned to kids and young adults wanting to learn how to cook for themselves.

For the past 6 months, I've been passing out some of my own recipes to my sons' friends and girlfriends to test out. The way I looked at it, if they could get through my recipe without calling me to finish the dish, that meant I had written down every little bit of information they needed to complete the recipe from A-Z.

The feedback has been wonderful from my "testers" (more on each of them in future posts!). They've found where I left out stuff that they needed because I've been cooking for so many years, I take for granted that everyone knows you have to drain cooked ground beef before adding it to potatoes, or that you have to drain cooked potatoes (and how to drain them) before adding butter and milk to mash them.

My testers have been so instrumental to completing my cookbook that I wanted to make sure I showcased them and their interests on this site.

I'll be making sure that you get to know each one of them, what their favorite recipes are, and if they are enjoying their new found knowledge.

Again, thanks for joining me here and please check back soon.

I'll be adding pics of my testers, recipes that YOU can test out at home, and short videos where my testers can show you HOW they completed some of their dishes.

Thanks for visiting!
