Give-Aways

I have spent the last 2 hours reading your newsletter and wonderful recipes. I have already printed a whole bunch I want to try. I love them because they are using ingredients one has on hand. I love that and just wanted you to know how much we appreciate all your hard work in putting together this newsletter. Thank you very much.

Food Fun!
by Alice Osborne

Don’t you just think “FUN” when you hear the word “picnic”? Even though Fall and its cooler weather is upon us, there’s still a little time left in the colder regions of the country for a few more picnics — which is a good way to bid bon voyage to a great summer!

We suggest that you start a picnic checklist, improve it over time, and keep it handy for picnic or camping preparation. Here's a list to start with. Scratch out items you don't need and add others until you have the perfect list for your family. (If you keep the list on your computer, you can print out a new copy whenever you need it.)

IDEA: Keep picnic and camping items in large containers in the corner of your garage where you can grab them in a moment and be ready for an outing. (Thanks to Prepared Pantry for this information.)
