Congratulations! I've had 4 published all together and my Mom has had 1. I'm waiting for 2 of the books that are coming in July. It's fun, isn't it?! My Jezebel raisin sauce for ham will be in the upcoming Farmhouse Kitchen book and my cool cranberry sparkler was in Autumn in the Country. Can't remember the others right now. It's great to get free cookbooks. I was just looking through some of my favorite recipes yesterday looking for some to send.

Have a great day!

It is fun,neat to see your name in print in something as popular as that.My Beef and Zucchini in Wine Sauce is in Quick-Fix Meals,and my Roast Chicken With Vegetables is in the upcoming Farmhouse Kitchen book.I'll be sure and look for yours:)Take care and have a great day!

Congratulations!  I am always thrilled when my recipes get published in Gooseberry Patch - 4 times now, and it is still very cool!

Here's the recipe:

Grandma's Pecan Balls

1 cup butter

5 T sugar

2 tsp vanilla

2 cups flour

2 cups pecan meats

Break the pecan meats.Do not chop.Blend the rest of the ingredients and roll into balls.Bake on ungreased cookie sheet @ 300 degrees for 45 minutes.Shake in powdered sugar while still warm and again before eating.Tastes yummy!

Hey Beckie,

I was just wondering if you got your Farmhouse Kitchen book yet? The letter I got said mid-July and well, today is 7/31! I might call them.

Thanks,

Ellen

No Ellen,I haven't.I was just thinking about that myself.I might send off an email as well.Have a great day!

Beckie

Ellen,I emailed Gooseberry Patch of either Friday or Saturday,and got a response today.Apparently they are out of stock on the bood Farmhouse Kitchen.They will be getting it in the end of this month,and we should get it in about a month.Have a great day!

Beckie

Thanks, Beckie,

I just ordered Family Favorite Recipes and they republished one of mine. That's kind of cool but I wish their deal was to send you one of every book they publish your recipe in! That would be awesome! Expensive for them but awesome for us!

 I'll let you know when I get my copy...keep me posted on yours.

Have a nice evening,

Ellen
