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 CookiesDrop 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

Jessica Scheu, Miss Teen Minnesota International 2009, is a Soldiers' Angel. Since being crowned Miss Teen Minnesota International this year, a position she will hang onto until March 6, the 17-year-old 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. |
