Calling all Cooks

Honor Their Service is putting together a milbloggers' cookbook as a fundraiser to pay for events like our Operation Fresh Air.  Op Fresh Air is a day of fishing, food and fellowship for our wounded/injured servicemembers and their families recovering at Walter Reed/Bethesda at Leesylvania State Park.

Details below the fold.

We need submissions from milbloggers and commenters alike in all catagories (appetizers, sides, salads, soups, main dishes, desserts, drinks, etc.) If you have a recipe (or two) that you are particularly proud of, we'd love to put them in the book.
In addition, you can submit pictures if you like.  We'll include as many as space and money allow.

We will also be featuring favorite recipes as well as memories from some Gold and Silver star families. These folks, as well as our active duty (Blue star) folks, are the very reason why Honor Their Service exists.

Here are the details:
Send your recipes (and any questions you might have) to HTScookbook@yahoo.com.
We are accepting recipes from today until March 16th.  Send me your favorites!!  I am excited to see what you all like to cook!

Depending on the turnaround time of editing and then having the cookbooks published, we might be selling them at the Milblogger's conference.  Our events are modest productions.  This cookbook will reflect that philosophy as well.

What a great idea! Any objection to me xposting this over on my blog and emailing out to some friends and family who are troop supporters? Even if they can't contribute a recipe, maybe they can buy the cookbook and help raise funds. :-)

Melanie,
That would be wonderful and for what it's worth, troop supporters can submit recipes if they'd like to.

Thank you so much!!

[Melonie K.]

Awesome - I will get it posted for you tomorrow! :-)

This is such a great idea. I am going to submit some recipes tonight.

My husband is in the Marine Corps and we live just outside of Camp Pendleton.

Please let me know if there's a direct link to a site for Honor Their Service and I'll add it into the post for you. :-)

Best wishes!

I'd like to submit a recipe for this and purchase a cookbook. I think it would be great if we could purchase these cookbooks at the Commissaries or Exchanges. I hope you'll look into having them available there. Let us know when they're available please. I'm a big cookbook fan, and I know my family will purchase to support my husband and all the other troops. : )
