Enlist in Operation Baking Gals Print

4 Comments

I had the great pleasure of meeting and talking with Susan from Operation Baking Gals. Susan told me the story of how she asked a few of her food blogging friends to help her bake some cookies for her cousin in Iraq. Today, she's handling over 200 bakers and 6 Host Teams that are sending a taste of home out to our brave men and women serving over seas.

It's a wonderful story, and Susan is a great gal to get to know. While you're listening or after you catch the show, go over and meet the teams and the soldiers on Operation Baking Gals. If you have the opportunity then please don your baking mitts and join the fun.

Listen in and Enjoy!

    Can I get some recipes? My dad, brother, and fiance are over and I would really appreciate some ideas of what I could send them with the recipes.

    Packaged tuna
    Crackers
    Easy Cheese
    Gum
    Candy, things like Sweet Tarts, Mentos, Skittles, etc. (chocolate and gummies will melt)
    Mints
