Just wanted to let everyone know that the cookbooks I made for Christmas presents for my children turned out great! They were surprised and thrilled. I know this will be a gift that will "keep on giving" and that will grow to be more valuable to them over the years-- especially after "old Mom" is no longer around.

I included photos sporatically throughout the book-- especially those that included food --- the kids making Christmas cookies, fishing in the surf at the beach (along with recipes for cooking fish, etc.)

Thanks to all of you for sending me some great tried and true recipes!
