It's finally here...Spring in Ohio has arrived at last! It's a magical time of bright tulips, cheery daffodils and new beginnings. Sure, there are plenty of rainy days, but we'll take them in exchange for the warm breezes and short-sleeve days.
In this April issue of Feather Your Nest, we're celebrating the re-release of our all-time bestselling cookbook, Meals in Minutes. Better than ever and filled with over 250 recipes ready in under an hour, the 10th Anniversary Edition is in stores now, and we can't wait to hear what you think.

Part of our celebration was getting back in touch with the recipe contributors who made this book so special a decade ago. We have always treasured the feeling of community between these generous cooks from all across the country and our little company. That feeling, we hope, is one of the things that sets our cookbooks apart from the rest. Keep reading for a peek inside our Meals in Minutes anniversary scrapbook!
P.S. This month, we'll also celebrate Easter and for us, that's always meant a big meal with family & friends gathered around the table. Which dishes are must-haves for you at this time of year? We'd love for you to share them on our website ...they could be selected for publication in an upcoming cookbook!
