Cookbook For A Cure

I’ve been busy a few evenings this week typing recipes for a cookbook. Our Duluth and Superior Relay Committees for The American Cancer Society’s Relay For Life have decided to put together a cookbook, that we will then sell as a fundraiser. It will be titled “The Twin Ports Recipes for a Cure”. Each recipe will be dedicated in memory or in honor of a person that has dealt with cancer. The recipes are due next week, so I’ve been busy. We want to print it in early Sept. and we have a printing company who will donate a portion of the printing, if not all of it, as a donation. We plan to have lots of photos, and stories along with the recipes.

I think we should have a variety of recipes from other areas of the country, other than Minnesota, so I requested recipes in honor or memory of, from my relatives and friends from PA, and other states. The recipes are coming in, so I’ve been typing them onto the donation form. I’ve also added a few of my own Pennsylvania Dutch recipes that I grew up with, in memory of my Dad (a 5 yr cancer survivor) and my brother, who we lost to cancer at age 52. Then I have many friends, who I am also putting in recipes for. One friend, a survivor, has the best Rhubarb bars I’ve ever tasted, and I have asked her permission to put her recipe in. We are hoping to have a variety, so that the cookbook will be a bit different than the usual cookbooks that are printed for fundraisers.
