ReplyDeleteBeyond the thrill of winning? There will be three prizes awarded, and winners will receive a Henry Street tote bag, mug and a pound of delicious Workforce Blend coffee. Winners will also be featured on the Henry Street website and on this blog.
DeletePleased to note that winners will also receive a two-pound bag of Daisy All Purpose Flour -- an amazing product that will improve everything you bake!
DeleteMy aunt sent me your blog and I really love the concept of cooking recipes from the past. Once I get off of my little diet (getting married soon), I will have to try a lot of these. Right now I'm eating a lot of raw desserts, which are very good, but nothing beats real butter. Joann, chickypea.com
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your upcoming wedding! Yes, nothing does beat butter, but I'm curious about your raw desserts. Do you mean fruit?
