Meg, I'm so glad you posted these pictures--makes me hungry to look at them all, but what a great visual for the recipes included in this book along with the fantastic stories!

I know how easy the Mile High Apple Pie one is to make, and it's YUM! My hubby remembers his grandmother making dried apple stack cake.
DeleteMeg, you are in SUCH trouble. My stomach was requesting food when I stopped by here, and now I'm STARVING.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes for all y'all in this anthology. A whole herd of mighty fine authors contributed. I can't wait to read it!
LOL - eat up! while reading up... ;-D
DeleteI just ordered this for my Kindle. If I don't fall asleep too early tonight, I hope to start reading this. I'm inbetween books at the moment. I have plenty on my Kindle, but I will read this one next. Looks good! And I can't wait to read the recipes, too.
ReplyDelete:-D I can guarantee the Mile High Apple Pie one. It's the reason I wrote my story. Enjoy!
DeleteNow you've gone and made me hungry. There are a bunch of great stories in the anthology.
ReplyDeleteIndeedy!! YUM YUM
DeleteOh my, do all those foods look good. Hope the readers enjoy the making the recipes and eating them while enjoying the book.
ReplyDeleteUs too! :-D
DeleteMeg these stories sound wonderful, and that food looks amazing! Love the idea of including recipes with the anthology. Perfect summer of good stories and good food. :)
ReplyDeleteJust wait till you read about the cowboys!
DeleteMeg, I loved your story! It has so much heart! The whole book is terrific, and has yummy recipes besides! What could be better?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lorrie - yours was great too. Nothing better to me for the 4th of July, reading while waiting for the fireworks to begin. Love my Kindle for that. :-D
DeleteLove the pictures of the food. You did such a good job of capturing them. Now I only have one problem. Which do I cook/bake first? That is after I finish all the stories in the book. PRP has done it again with a super anthology.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Agnes! I guess you could start with the first, and work your way to the end... my motto is dessert first, though. ;-D
DeleteMeg, what a wonderful idea to post the pictures of our foods. You did a remarkable job--and I am also as hungry as a bear--thank you very much. I had so much fun writing my story, have thoroughly enjoyed the one I've read so far and look forward to spending my Fourth reading the rest. Thank you again for your ingenious and delightful post and thanks to PRP for another terrific anthology.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, Beverly! I had fun finding the pictures. :-D
DeleteI am loving the food images. They all made me hungry. The berry pie especially. I think that adding images like this to a book would be a great visual for your readers. It definitely works for this blog that is for sure. You have wet my appetite for the book that is for sure.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Nadine! Enjoy the book!
DeleteLadies, notice no gents have commented. Hmm. :-D
ReplyDeleteI wish everyone included in this anthology great success. I am bedazzled by the recipes. They look super delicious.
ReplyDeleteNo gents have commented because they're a-scared. LOL
