THINK PINK

I love cookbooks, especially PINK cookbooks. How I wish someone would buy me Home and Garndens "New Cook Book, Limited Edition "Pink Plaid" for Breast Cancer Awareness (though I may just end up buying a copy for both me and my sister for Christmas).

This is the complete 12th edition New Cook Book with all the goodness and reliability that's made the Red Plaid a trusted kitchen resource for millions of families. It has more than 1,200 delicious recipes and 700 full-color photos, and hundreds of hints and tips, easy-to-read cooking charts, complete nutrition and exchange information for every recipe, plus all of the "best-loved" recipes found in the Red Plaid version.

All new 64-page "pink" section includes healthful dietary and lifestyle suggestions, and more than 60 delicious recipes containing wholesome "super foods" associated with a reduced risk of cancer.

You can buy this at Amazon.com for $19.77 or through the Susan G. Koman Breat Cancer Foundation for $25. I'm not sure how much of the proceeds go to breast cancer research when you buy the books, let alone buying at Amazon.com vs. Koman. Either way you're donating to a good cause.

While you're deciding what recipes to make from your new cookbook, go to KitchenAide's Cook for the Cure website. You'll find out how to host a party to raise money for the Susan G. Koman Breast Cancer Foundation.

Also, check out the Pink Product Collection. For each qualifying pink product purchased, KitchenAid will donate up to $50 to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.

Oh I wish I had a pink kitchen. It's so retro cool.
