~~~Holiday Recipe exchange sent/received~~~.....COMPLETED!!

[jrnunzio3]

The person you sent to is on vacation......she is due back tomorrow, so I am sure she will check in
And Lynne is in WDW, so no snow.....but it has turned cold there!! (DH was there this weekend).

Nancy,
Thanks for letting me know. I didn't read that Lynne was in WDW, but then again, I have been a little crazy here. Planning our Employee luncheon for 158 people for this Friday. I swear it is like planning a wedding. Take Care.

I had received an exchange from Stephanie-sorry I am not sure what your DIS name is.

She had sent me recipes for-
*Holiday Yam Bake-I will definetly try this. I have never heard of mixing pineapples with yams before.
*Brocolli Casserole
*Orange Cookies
*Chicken and Dressing
*Red and White Grape Salad


And included in the box were-
*Paper cups, plates, and napkins that are all coordinated in a pretty fall leave decor.
*2 scrubber dish cloths
*Pecan chips-I am not sure why, but I hardly see pecans being sold here, so it is neat to receive something like this.
*Fall fingertip towel
*2 potholders
*Silicone frosting spreader

Thank you very much. Hope you have a Happy Halloween, and a Happy Thanksgiving!
