I opened the letter and it brought a smile to my face. It said that one of my recipes was published in their 2012 Almost Homemade cookbook, so they were sending me a complimentary copy! The winter that the twins were infants, I spent a lot of my spare time creating new recipes, and I would frequently submit them to Taste of Home. I'd totally forgotten about it (just like I've forgotten much of what occurred during the first 6 months with the twins!).
What recipe could it be? I didn't even remember what all I'd sent to them. Turns out that you will find my recipe for Pear-Blueberry Granola, which is made in the crockpot, on page 174. It's delicious and fairly healthy, and makes a great dessert in addition to being a wonderful breakfast. And I'm so excited to be included in Taste of Home - I've been a huge fan of their cookbooks and magazines since 1998!
Now that was a good mailbox surprise! And now I have a new cookbook to boot!

Published recipe? Kudos!
I've tried some of the recipes you've posted here and they are all good.
Trying to cram them all into a muffin tin is often a problem for me though...;-)

Wow, this is so exciting, now you are in a published cookbook! I LOVE Taste Of Home, and I subscribe to it now and then. I like that it has great pictures and no ads! I really don't know how they can publish with no ads. Anyway, I used to order these cookbooks. How on earth did you have time to do all this recipe experimenting with newborn twins? Most people are exhausted with just one! Must be that you have great stamina and energy from running!
Awww, Lisa I am so happy for you.
And that recipe sounds so yummy.
Would you share it in blogland?
Okay I think my previous comment just vanished.
Again, congrats with being published.
That pear recipe sounds yummy.
And crockpot.... is so fun to cook with.
Would you share the recipe with us bloggers?
Have a great weekend.
WOW! Proud of you as always! You are becoming quite diverse, aren't you?...:)JP
That is SO awesome!!! What a great surprise to find in your mailbox. And, congrats :)

Wow! Wow! Wow! Now that is very exciting! Congratulations! I love Taste of Home too! My Granny used to get their magazine cookbooks and I found one of the hardback ones at a book sale at the library and bought it. Now you've got me wondering what I did with those magazines that Granny gave me. I hope I didn't toss them!
That is incredibly cool, and if it was good enough to be in Taste of Home, it must be GREAT! They have the best recipes!
Congratulations! Taste of Home is one of my favorite magazines, and I have four of their books.
Greetings from Mpls!

Lisa!!! I am so excited for you! I love Taste of Home too!
My mom actually buys me one of those cookbooks every single year. Though I've never known anyone in them--how cool!
Congratulations on your recipe!
PS -- definitely dig up the potatoes. You might be pleasantly surprised. :)
I'm not surprised that one of your recipes have been published, i think yours are really good and at least you were able to get a cook book from having yours in there. Richard
This is so cool Lisa!!! And the recipe sounds wonderful. I know exactly what you mean about getting the mail, it's often so depressing.
that's great! so happy for you!
That is very exciting!!!
Congratulations!
Wow! this is a great surprise
That is really exciting! Sure beats finding more bills in your mailbox.
Maybe it's time to think of publishing your own e-cookbook?
Congratulations! That's definitely something to be proud of!
Congrats! I'll have to check you out. I love all their magazine and cook books!
