Thanks to all who participated. If you sent a recipe in and do not see it here, please leave a comment below. I rescued many submissions from my junk folder. (I not only found many delicious recipes that were re-routed to spam, but found that I seem to win the British Lotto on a daily basis. Nice.) Hopefully I have not lost any submissions, but the response was great enough that I worry that I may have left someone out. I apologize if I have. Just let me know so that I can make any necessary corrections.
What a wonderful resource we've created together. When we prepare these recipes for our families, why don't we make an effort to pray for the mother who shared them and for her family? There is no better gift we could give one another.
