Cooking Resources

Use the sites provided to gather recipes for a 4-course meal. The meal will consist of an appetizer, soup or salad, main entrée, and dessert. Pick recipes that are healthy, easy to make, and something you feel would be pleasing to your family. The four recipes should go together as well. Do not combine nationalities, for example, Won Ton soup does not go well with burritos.

All recipes will be put into a class recipe book.
