Dinner Favors Texas Flavors
After completing a home-school study on the
state of Texas, my son, Elijah, and I prepared a
Texas-style dinner for the rest of the family.Naturally,
I turned to Taste of Home for our menu.
We got our recipes for Favorite
Chili and Sweet Corn Bread from
the TOH Recipe Finder (www.taste
ofhome.com), and we made the delicious
and moist Texas Chocolate
Cupcakes in the April/May issue. As
you can see from my son’s beaming
face (left), the dinner was a culinary
success.Thank you for a magazine
that never lets me (or my family)
down. —Paula Zaitz

Get-Well Gift from “Ted”
Thank you for the 2-Tier Pie Butler from Taste of
Home Entertaining (Ted’s Toothpick prize,
April/May).You’ll never know how much this gift
meant to my 34-year-old daughter, Connie, who
has been battling cancer.
Last October, Connie needed surgery but told
her doctors, “Not until after the Taste of Home
Cooking Schools show.” The doctors agreed to
put things off for 2 days.
Back at the hospital,we looked for Ted’s toothpick
together as she waited to go into surgery.
“Did you enter for the toothpick drawing,Mom”
she asked later.“Yes,”I assured her.
When I won the pie butler, I was speechless.
Now Connie and I will not only share the magazine—we’ll
share the pie butler. She’s still undergoing
treatment,but just the other day,we enjoyed
a slice of pie together. —Carolyn Brown

Confidence-Booster
I’ve been subscribing to
Taste of Home for over a
year now. Thanks to your
recipes, I have found a
greater sense of confidence.
I’m now making
recipes I previously would
have skimmed over,thinking they were too difficult.
This self-assurance led me to make Cinnamon Apple
Cheesecake (Aug/Sept ’06) for my boyfriend,
Charlie. Not only was it delicious, but it came out
beautiful,too.
