Central Missouri Honor Flight Cookbook Has Been Submitted!!!

February 13, 2015 -  Back in August 2014 we had this wonderful idea to create a cookbook with veteran's only recipes to use as a fundraiser for Central Missouri Honor Flight. Since the start of Central Missouri Honor Flight they have taken 31 flights and over 1,900 veterans to our nation's capital to see their memorials. In an effort to help keep these flights going we thought this would be a great venture. With the help of many people in our community the recipes started flowing in like crazy.

Trying to keep this all straight took a wonderful dedicated woman by the name of Brenda Sherman. She organized the recipes, printed them out and kept track of things so that we had all recipes accounted for. A task that doesn't go un-noticed. 

On August 11, 2014 this wild and crazy group of women got together to start entering recipes on an online system. A task that wasn't easy but would be fun! 

As we all know, life happens and our project was delayed due to a death in a family then the holidays hit. We knew that we would get back on the road to getting this project done after the first of the year.

{insert happy dance here}

After working like crazy on this project over the last month including entering the nearly 400 all veteran recipes for the "Veterans' Favorites - A Taste of Home Cookbook" benefiting the Central Missouri Honor Flight it's time to jump up and down because.....

 IT JUST WENT TO PRINT TODAY!!!!

This project has seriously been a labor of love and I have to give a huge shout out to my awesome co-chair, Brenda Sherman as well as Cheryl Wallace for proof-reading all the recipes not once but twice to make sure we are consistent in entries!

While you don't get to see the front or back cover of this awesome cookbook I have to give another huge shout out to Dave Timpone, Web and Marketing Manager for Bobcat of St. Louis - Columbia Branch for coming to us literally at the last moment and offering to work on the covers so that it would stand out above all the rest! I can't say thank you enough to Dave and I know you all will love the design work once you see it! It's bea-u-ti-ful! 

All of this wouldn't be possible without some amazing businesses that jumped on board with this project making sure that they gave back to Central Missouri Honor Flight through a one-time-only sponsorship for the "Veterans' Favorites - A Taste of Home Cookbook"!
