Hey Barb....I am from MN too!!!
Can't complain this year though....but I would like a white Christmas. I have lived here all my life and don't think I have ever had a non-white Christmas.
I don't have that LAWL cookbook ,but I have two others. I use them almost everyday, all of the desserts and soups are my favorite.
It is a good tool to get all servings in. The only downfall I have found is in one of them (the 3 ring binder cookbook) the meals are based off of 1 serving. It's not a big deal, I just double the recipe for DH and myself.
My sister and her hubby were living with us for a few weeks last March. She loved the cookbook so much, I bought it on ebay for her Christmas gift.....I am no longer going to a COD.
have a good night
