this is my favorite exchange so I plan for it during the year! I knew what I was going to get this year so that was the easy part! In years past I wasn't always pleased with my purchase, so this year I planned ahead!
Now I just hope my exchanger likes the book!!

an assortment of Mickey head lollipops
a Mickey pen
a Chives grow kit
a Basil grow kit
kitchen towel and matching pot holder
set of 4 color coded cutting boards...very cool!
a very cute magnetic memo pad in the shape of a dress with an apron
an Italy cookbook
a South American cookbook
and the Best of the Best from Washington cookbook.....it has KFC's coleslaw recipe :banana:

Wow that got there fast!! I only mailed on Saturday.
Hope you enjoy it all. I love this exchange and have great fun putting the package together.

Happy cooking, Johnie....and sorry about the bad day :hug:

My package left today :teeth:
and it arrived today! That was really a quick trip!
I got 2 really different and unique books this time!
Texas Morning Glory which has breakfast recipes from different Texas Bed and Breakfast places and I also got The Pepper Springs Cookbook. What really makes these special and unique is that they are smaller in the shape of recipe cards and you can easily prop them up so you can read them as you make the recipes! How handy is that!!!!
She also included a recipe for impossible cheeseburger pie. I use to make impossible dessert type pies and I was so glad to get this recipe because its one that we enjoy, but I never remember to add to my dinner rotation. We have been in a dinner rut lately so this is just what I needed to give me a quick meal!
Thanks again, I can't wait to sit down and really read my books. My DH teases me because I read cookbooks just like you read novels!

Mine arrived on Monday from Rae Jean (Powelljr)! It was a cool one called Indiana Cooks with recipes from restaurants in Indiana. So many of the recipes have mutiple parts (sauces, toppings, salad dressings) that can be used with the recipe and with other recipes. She also included a Paula Deen Recipe magazine that has lots of scrumptious recipes...none low calorie, I don't think.;) But lots that sound delicious. I love that Paula Deen!
Thanks!
PS: My two exchanges will be going out today.

I got my book today and I am going to package the things up and hopefully get them out in the mail tomorrow! I am excited that my book arrived sooner than I thought it would! I had to order it because it wasn't available in my bookstore and I wanted that particular book since I have it already myself and love it!
I will post again when it is actually in the mail. :cutie:

I have finished getting my package together, and it will be heading to it's new home tomorrow!
And when I got home from shopping today, I had a package from clhcpaca! :Pinkbounc When I opened it, I found a pretty blue dish towel wrapped around a bunch of goodies. Cindy sent me the Gilroy Goes Gourmet Cookbook which is put together by the American Association of University Women and includes recipes from Cindy herself! She also sent a silicone spatula (can NEVER have too many of these!), some recipe cards, a Mickey post-it pad, a heart-shaped candle (thankfully it is still temperate here or that could have made a mess! :teeth: ), a package of Folgers Vanilla Biscotti Gourmet coffee (sounds yummy!), an apple pie recipe that includes its own spice pack and a package of Watkins granulated black pepper.
Thanks Cindy! I cannot wait to try some of my new recipes!!!

A really nice cookbook called Apron Strings-ties to the southern tradition of cooking by the Junior League of Little Rock, Inc.
It's another one that had things to read besides just the recipes. And, some yummy sounding recipes:banana:

I had two great cookbooks waiting for me when I got back from camp today!:banana: 3 days with 5th graders.....that's a whole other thread! (If this wasn't a food related thread, I'd tell you what they found under my cabin....and why we knew it was there!:rotfl: )
The cookbooks are from ksloane and the first is Recipes to Remember and the second is Shelbyville Dragons. Each is a beautiful memorial tribute. The Shelbyville one really broke my heart. What an awesome thing to do, tho--people who didn't even know them will remember them often.
Both contain yummy looking recipes....of course I checked out the desserts first. Lots of things I"ve already dog-earred and will be trying out soon! I'll have something new and different to bring to a pot luck I'm going to next week.
THanks so much!!

Glad you liked them. Both are actually fundraisers for scholarship funds for students we have had die in tragic accidents since I've been teaching. I have to admit to being a sucker for fundraisers, but these were really meaningful ones so I have bought SEVERAL of each book over time.
I also received my book today (Three Rivers Cookbook II). It is from Jan, Sister of Sandy - sjh801. I flipped through it today while my daughter was a softball practice and it has several pages already flagged. :cool1: Also included were some typed personal recipes that ALL look yummy!! My daughter is having her first sleep over tomorrow night and I think we'll try a few out!!!

DANG it I thought it was cool enough up there for it to make since we had a pretty cool weekend here LOL Sorry I knew I should have sent 2 lollie pops . They had a cool one shaped like a Dillo : )
Enjoy the cookbooks the chicken one looks like it would be hard to cook the stuff in it but it is GREAT and so easy .

Jan asked me to post her thank you. From talking to her, it sounds as if I may be copying some of the recipes, too.
