Hello neighbors! Submitted recipes are typed, but we could really use more breads, rolls, breakfast dishes, cookies, candy, canning, sauces, crusts and condiments. THEN, we also have a number of "nameless" recipes. If you contributed any of the following recipes and let us know, we'll make sure your name gets placed with it in the cookbook.

The Best Classic Meatloaf Recipe
Microwave Fruit Salad
Grape Salad (5 lb. grapes with 1/2 cup brown sugar)
Cauliflower Salad
Italian Beef
Cranberry Salsa
Watergate Cake
3 Bean Salad

Typing these recipes has been such a joy. We have over 150 recipes so far and I can't wait to try them myself. Our thanks to all of you for making this such a special book!
