Thanks to everyone who purchased Home Cooking from the Heartland, we raised $10K for the Food Bank for the Heartland!
Now I want to hear from YOU — I would love to see what your favorite recipes are, as well as raise more money for the Food Bank for the Heartland, so we've created a Cookbook Challenge!
Here is how it works: I'm inviting you to share your favorite heartland-inspired recipes inside the Anchovy app for a chance to win EXCLUSIVE prizes - and most importantly, RAISE MORE MONEY for the Food Bank for the Heartland.
Anchovy will donate $5 for each recipe that is uploaded to the challenge! Let's do this - let's raise more money to help more people thrive! Click here (on your mobile device)to participate, or scroll down to see exactly how to get started!
Thank you! Julie
