I just went out to check the mail – junk mail, freelance check (Yes! Money!), junk mail, big white envelope from Taste of Home. What the heck is this? Inside is a copy of the August/September issue of Taste of Home Healthy Cooking and a letter. It reads:
Dear Contributor,
Thank you for being part of this issue of Taste of Home Healthy Cooking. Your submission can be found on page 57 in the enclosed complimentary copy. . .
My Grandma would be so proud! Taste of Home was her favorite cooking magazine and the first of many cooking magazines I would eventually subscribe to. I can’t help but think she had something to do with this!
If you have a bounty of fresh herbs in your garden, these pork chops with herb pesto are the perfect meal for taking advantage of summer’s bounty.
