My Making Strides Against Breast Cancer team is putting together a cookbook and we are looking for recipes. If you would like to send any recipes to help me get the 50 I am supposed to get I would appreciate it. Please do not give me Pampered Chef recipes because I don't want to give them a bunch of recipes to put in the cookbook that I could demostrate at a show for them or something like that. I am looking for good family recipes that you wouldnt mind sharing. Thank you!
