My Mother's Cookbook: Freshly Real Book Launch Party Raises $3,000 for The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia

We had a great time at 'My Mother's Cookbook: Freshly Real' book launch party last Sunday at the Scandinavia House in New York. A good crowd helped to celebrate the ebook interactive cookbook release on iBooks. Check out the sample on iBooks to see what the excitement is about. 
I am excited to share that we raised over $3,000 with this book launch party for research on ALCAPA, the birth defect that my granddaughter was born with, and had open heart surgery for on New Years Day 2015. This amount, combined the generous contribution of $5000 from the Bergman Family Foundation and $4000 raised in Miami, gives us a great start on our long term goal of $100,000. 

As sales of cookbooks will generate donations of $2.00 per book, your help in spreading the word about 'My Mother's Cookbook: Freshly Real' through your social network will be so appreciated.

'My Mothers Cookbook: Freshly Real' Summer Picnic Recipe Post .... Rosamond's Potato Salad

Rosamond's Potato Salad

What great food at Nancy's Book Launch Party last Saturday...... is what everyone is saying.  The favorites, besides desserts, were the baked ham and the homemade potato salad. Since it is Memorial Day weekend you might like to try the potato salad recipe for yourself. My friend Nancy, who was helping to make the 15 pounds of potato salad we served last Saturday, remembered my mother Rosamond making this recipe. 

The most important parts of this recipe are to use fresh, small red and yellow skin potatoes, keep the outer skins on and to make the salad while the potatoes are still warm. 

Try out this first posting of a recipe from 'My Mother's Cookbook: Freshly Real'© and tell us how you like it... send your picnic pictures to scanlonnancy@aol.com and we will post them.
