Celebrations Recipe Newsletter

I hope everyone had a very happy holiday season and is ready for the new year!

Today is a special day for My Family Kitchen as it marks our one year aniversary. That's right, our site went live exactly one year ago today! I just can't believe how fast the site has grown!

In celebration of our aniversary we have extended the discount offer for Our Cookbook, "Celebrate Food!". It's still available to members of the list at the discounted price of ONLY $10.00 and we are even throwing in "Fancy Fudge" and "A Guide to Herbs and Spices" Free! If you haven't checked it out yet you can take a look at the list of recipes included in the cookbook here.  This is a downloadable E-book, but if you prefer a printed and bound copy, email us for pricing. (we also have special pricing for fund raisers).

We are going to feature some Appetizer recipes this week that are simple and easy to make for any celebration or party.

First up is Creamy Bacon Bites. This recipe is made with prepared cresent rolls and I often make it with crab as well as bacon. Either way, no matter how much I make, there is never enough!

Next is Shrimp Spread. This is a favorite of ours and one we make very often. some times we subsititute crab for shrimp. either way its delicious. Serve it with crackers, toast points or thin it down a bit with cream for an awesome dip!

Finally we have Steak and Pickle bites. These great little appetizers are always a hit. You can prepare them ahead of time and pop them in the oven about 20 minutes before serving. I often keep a bag of them ready to cook in the freezer for when we have unexpected company.

Here's a great recipe for Spinach Dip that makes a great appetizer while watching the games or parades.

The special Holiday promotion we had with Cooking.com was such a success that they have extended the offer to us indefinately! Make a purchase of $50 or more and have No Payments for 90 Days When You Pay with PayPal!
