I was delighted by all of the kitchen disaster responses. They were so much fun to read and I hope to highlight some in my newsletter soon. I love how cooking and food are such an integral part of our lives. We associate different foods with so many memories which make us laugh or smile.

That’s the feeling I wanted to capture in While Love Stirs. For Charlotte, cooking feeds the soul, not just the body.

And the winners for this blog stop are:

Prize Package #1

When Love Calls and While Love Stirs

Fannie Farmer Cookbook

goes to

Kelly Blackwell

Prize Package #2

When Love Calls and While Love Stirs
