Atglen Library Earns Silver Award
Once the recipes were compiled, Jackson found a publishing company, Morris Press, which created the book. “They have a ‘type and save’ program, where we typed all the recipes into their program,” she said. “This program (also) allowed us to choose our art that was in the book as well as write a little history on our troop.” In addition to the history and the assortment of recipes, the cookbook contains many helpful hints for home cooks. This reference information includes a section on how to use and identify herbs and spices, baking hints, details on how to buy the best fresh fruits and vegetables, measurement charts, cooking

“We began compiling the recipes for the cookbook in the beginning of October; all recipes were due by the end of October,” explained Scout mom Heather Jackson. “All Scouts were asked to submit as many recipes as they would like. They could ask anyone in their family for recipes.” Many of the recipes in the book are distinct because they are unique to each family, such as “Grandma’s Gobs,” which are sandwich cookies filled with icing, and “Porcupine Meatballs,” which are meatballs containing rice. Some recipes use slow cookers, such as the one for “Absolutely Ultimate Potato Soup.” There is also a recipe for slow cooker hot chocolate.
