We got the sweetest e-mail from Dorothy Guice.  She offered to  share her tried and true menus for families.  Our mouths started watering, and we threw away our diets! 

Thanks, Dorothy!

     Enjoy,
      Jane Marie

PS Dorothy is a stay at home wife and mom with seven kids, five of whom live at home!  No wonder she knows how to plan meals that delight tummies.  Daughter Rhonda, who contributes to the cooking, has developed some special recipes of her own.

In their own words: Dorothy & Rhonda are a family-oriented mother and daughter duo who enjoy creating and trying new dishes. Dorothy loves to meet new friends on forums and sharing ideas.  Rhonda likes inventing, learning and passing on new recipes.  They both believe "family should never be taken for granted."

Dear Jane Marie & Nancy,

This thank you letter is LONG overdue.  I've been so busy with the family and you know how  post-holiday chores are.

I would like to thank you for sharing my menu with your readers and putting in the effort you did to do so.  I truly hope they enjoyed it. It has been a pleasure and an honor to be mentioned in your newsletter.  Thank you again.

  Sincerely,
  Dorothy Guice
