This time of year, we start looking forward to spring's mild breezes and blooms (assuming all our snow has finally melted). Spring also brings Easter celebrations and Mother's Day brunches, and our April/May issue will offer amazing menus for both holidays. We're just winding up production of that hearty issue, which also includes a salute to Cinco de Mayo—12 fabulous recipes, all winners in our recent Southwest contest. SHARE YOUR RECIPES Food Editor Pat Schmeling is looking for recipes in the following categories to round out upcoming issues. So share your favorites, along with any tips for making them. Please send them to fieldeditors@tasteofhome.com. Remember to include your name, phone number and mailing address on each recipe along with the category name. Please put “newsletter response” ALONG WITH YOUR STATE ABBREVIATION on the subject line of E-mails. Deadline is Friday, March 18. MEATLESS MEALS. Have you heard of "Meatless Mondays"? The movement was started a few years ago to encourage Americans to eat healthier and help the planet at the same time. If you have a meatless main dish your family loves—and they don't even miss the meat!—share it with us.
SAY CHEESE. Homemade cheese might be the next big thing. In fact, a couple of our staff members are set to attend a local class where they'll learn how to make, among others, blue cheese and brie. If you love making cheese, and have recipes to share, such as yogurt cheese or mozzarella, please send them to us today. Include information on how you learned to make cheese, how you store it and use it up. ROUND ROBINS. Some people call them progressive parties, others know them as safari suppers. These delightful meals, where friends and family go from house to house for each course, are especially popular at Christmastime. Have you organized or participated in a round robin? Drop us a line! Include your favorite recipes, how you organized the event, who participated, etc. Feel free to send photos of your round robin, too. HANUKKAH: The Jewish celebration of oil calls for traditional foods such as latkes and fried doughnuts. We'd love to try the recipes you, a friend or other members of your family prepare for the special occasion.
