It’s filled with tasty recipes, and inspiring blurbs, and sharp-looking designs, and really talented wonderful bloggers.. It’s called the Holiday Heirloom Recipe Collection and I get to share it with you.We want to share with you some of our famillies’ best-loved heirloom recipes and maybe help you start some new recipe traditions of your own.. And we want to keep the recipe sharing going!

You can link up your own recipes below and have them shared on all the fabulous blogs of the bloggers featured in the book.At the end of the week, we’ll all be picking our favorites and featuring them for our readers.I share my recipe for Ambrosia Salad.. Want to know a secret?

Like what you see and want to get to know these bloggers a little better?the rooms all seemed much bigger and brighter than what we remembered.. We are thrilled.
