Made With Love!!!!

I got the proof for the cookbook yesterday!!! Here's the first page of the cookbook.....YEAH!

Sorry the picture isn't very good--it was taken with my iPhone.

Cookbook Update!

I just got an email that they are sending me the proof for the cookbook!!!! I'll be getting it on November 1st! I will post pictures when I get it.

After I make sure that everything is order I'll send it back and the cookbooks will get sent to the press.

Cookbook Orders

With the number of recipes (727!!!!!) I had to order more cookbooks to fill their minimum requirements---so if you are still wanting a cookbook or you want some extra you still have time to order.

Email me at annelucas577@hotmail.com

The cost of the cookbooks are $14.00

The Cover for the Cookbook!!!!

Here's the cover for the Cookbook! I'm so happy with how it looks!

I'll keep everyone updated when I hear more details of when it'll finally ship!

PS--We had to order more cookbooks to fill their minimum requirements so there is still time to order from me! Let me know if you want to order a cookbook or order more! annelucas577@hotmail.com

Hallelujah!

I have finally sent in the order for the cookbook!!! It was be printed within 40 days so plenty of time for Christmas. It's going to turn out great, I'm so excited to see the finished product!!

The Things I've Learned!

I just wanted to share with everyone the things that I've learned since doing the Cookbook Project!!

1. How to spell Potatoes. When it's singular there is no E at the end.


2. How to spell Tomatoes. Same rule applies!


3. How to spell Worcestershire. (Actually I still don't know how to spell this word and after doing this cookbook I'm going to try my darndest never to use this in a recipe so I don't have to EVER write it down!)


4. The more recipes you look at the less you want to cook! (Not kidding)


5. No matter how long it's been since I've seen or talked to people in the Richards Family they can still make me feel loved and important!!

I loved putting this cookbook together for the family! I've said it before and I'll probably keep saying it.....Everyone was soooo great and supportive that I talked to! I am proud to be a Richards and tell my kids the memories that I have of the family reunions. It's the kind of memories that I hope and try to give my kids.

Anyone who knows me knows that I have a LOVE for Iowa. (I'll admit maybe a little too much!). But to me Iowa holds so many happy memories of my childhood and my adult life! When I go to Iowa I'm seeing my family and building more memories with the most important people in my life. No matter how long it's been it feels like no time has passed and we pick up right were we left off. The older I get the more important family is!

Seven Hundred and Twenty Seven

The final count of the recipes in the cookbook is 727!! I have double-checked, proofed, alphabetized and catergozied!!!

I'm ready to place the order on October 1st after I get a final count of all the cookbooks to order.

I again just wanted to thank everyone for being supportive of this project. This cookbook has some great recipes from the past and present generations.
I hope that in another 10 or so years we do another one and that we keep more in contact with each other!

Much Love!!!

Anne
