📋 About This Mod

1/1/2017: Fixed Clam meat from selling super high. Fixed Sweet rolls from draining Magicka. Added 2 recipes: Creep Cluster Ramen and Nordic Barnacle Clam Soup.

Hey guys, more updates soon! For now, I made a Salt mod. Feel free to grab it if you need more salt for cooking! Sea Salt Deposits

1/1/2017: Version 3. 3 Adds new features: Moon Sugarcane added to world. About 20 wild growing cane can be found in the Marshes of Morthal and at the hot spring areas of Bonestrewn Crest. Also can be found randomly in barrels etc as they are added to the Leveled Lists. 3 Moon Sugarcane is required to make 1 Moonsugar under MISC at the Cooking Spits.

Added a few more butter churns. I only saw 3 wtf. So I added 5 or 6 at farms. One outside of whiterun, one at the farm outside of Solitude, and a few other farms. Why have cows and no churns. Bethesda wtf. I might even add more in the future, just didn't want to do butter overkill as milk can also now craft butter at spits.

Also added Milk to Leveled lists. Can be found randomly as well in barrels and such. Use milk to make butter at cooking spit!

3 Types of Applesauce can be made. Normal, Snowberry and Jazbay. Totals 6 recipes as You can either use 3 green apples or 3 red apples as the base for the sauce. These are for restoring magicka and having resistances to either Frost or Shock.

12/26/2016 Sorry for all the Updates. That should be it for a bit. 3. 1 Adds 20 Cooking Stoves to all the Inns in Skyrim. Had to delete some clutter to fit a few, nothing worth missing. If you use other Cooking Stove mods, might conflict, might not! Also adds Bone Meal recipe from skulls and Bonemeal Bread.

Example of placement: Bee and Barb in Riften The Bannered Mare: (Example of clutter removal, had to get rid of dresser and wine. Most clutter removed at Inns were firewood) 12/24/2016: Merry Christmas eve guys, Added more updates! Added 14 more recipes totaling over 30. Soul Gem's can be crushed into mana food sources, adds teas, adds more soup, etc. Soul gem's restore . 2 mana more per stage. So Soul Gem Petty is 1. 2 Magicka per sec, Soul Gem Lesser 1. 4, etc. Then jumps to 2 Magicka per sec for Grand Gem. Sometimes, you have too many soul gems, this gives them more use.

12/15/2016: To everyone using both versions. I want to keep working on this mod, but with 2 versions, I'm forced to add everything I do in CK twice. It can be really time consuming. So based on how many more people download version 2, I will be continuing on that version. There are many foods I have forgotten to mess with especially in Hea
