Would you like me to make any of the starred recipes? If so, leave me a comment and tell me which one(s) you are interested in. As long as they don’t include mushrooms or nuts (I’m allergic to these) and I can find the ingredients I’ll give it a whirl.

Seasonal Food Guide ~ If you are in the U.S. you can find out what’s in season in your area. Very handy guide!
And if you are in Europe, here is a similar resource: Explore Seasonal Fruit and Vegetables in Europe
If you are in a different part of the world, let me know and I’ll try to find a guide for your area. Or if you already know of one, let me know so I can share it here.
Just wanted to let you know I like reading the Monthly Menus. I just fount the same cookbook through Thrift Books and ordered it. I Love finding good recipes in older cookbooks. I have some really old ones too.
Oh, I’m so glad you have been enjoying these. And I hope you enjoy the cookbook. I keep meaning to look for one for my daughter (Retro Housewife Goes Green). I know she would love it.
