Recipes Requested



From two busy Angels...

The first Soldiers' Angels cook book, Angel Delights (the cookie cookbook), has been a bestseller and great fundraiser for Soldiers' Angels, so it is time for a second edition.

Soldiers' Angels is looking for recipe submissions in the following categories:

Bar Cookies
Drop Cookies
Roll-and-Cut Cookies
Pressed and Molded Cookies
Brownies and Blondies
Refrigerator and Slice-and-Bake Cookies
Chocolate Chip Cookies
Miscellaneous and Unusual Cookies

Celebrity recipes also wanted. Soldiers' Angels must receive the recipe directly from the celebrity emailed to shellemichaels@soldiersangels.org or to the Angel submitting the recipe, as we cannot accept recipes that are copied from celebrity websites without permission.

We are also collecting recipes for our Meals Ready to Go/Eating on a Budget cookbook that will roll out shortly after the 2nd Cookie cookbook. We especially encourage our Warriors to get involved with this cookbook-- what do you eat that is fulfulling when you are on limited time/supplies?

If you have any inspirational quotes, poems, stories to share, please send them along as well (limit to three paragraphs if possible--for strategic placement in the cookbooks we may need to edit). Space is limited so not all submissions will be included, but we will file away extra submissions for a future project.

Maximum of 10 recipes per person.

Please email MaryAnn for the template (fmawriter@aol.com). The deadline is August 31, 2009 so that the book can be published in time for holiday gift giving. Please do not wait for the deadline--get your recipes in now!

Thank you! We look forward to another successful cookie book. To purchase the first edition, please head over to the Soldiers' Angels Store (all proceeds from the store go directly back into supporting our heroes).

Kind regards,

MaryAnn & Shelle




Teams & Projects - How to Help

Click here for a list of our many teams and projects!


Dogs trained to interact with people in need of emotional support are proving very useful for veterans with severe physical or emotional wounds (i.e. PTSD). Under the guidance of Patsy Swendson, Soldiers' Angels is developing a team of "Support Dogs." This is one of the first two dogs of the new team in action.


Soldiers' Angels is a proud to stand with fellow Angel Aviella Winder, who is about to release her debut CD and will be donating a portion of its sales to Soldiers' Angels.




  

Since being crowned Miss Teen Minnesota International in 2009, a position she will hang onto until March 6, 2010, 17-year-old Jessica Scheu has been promoting her platform – Soldier’s Angels – and its message: “May no soldier go unloved.”

In her work with Soldier’s Angels, Scheu adopted a soldier who she corresponds with by writing letters and sending care packages. She also participates in the Ladies of Liberty program, which supports women soldiers during deployment, and the Warriors to Citizens military program based in Farmington.
