Mennonite Girls Can Cook ~ Celebrations


Happy Thanksgiving Monday to you our dear readers.

Two years ago on Thanksgiving Monday we announced that we had signed a contract with MennoMedia to publish a cookbook. 



Thank you for giving us the opportunity to put together a book that you could purchase for yourself and give as gifts.  You not only gave it once but your giving was stretched when you joined with us in our dream to feed hungry children. 

We selected a project that our royalties would be designated to.  The funds have been directed to MCC to  build this greenhouse. As we see the updates that they send us in photos we realize how blessed it is to give. The book which we gave back to the Lord is now providing nourishment for the body and soul for children in the Ukraine.

While we worked on the book that would preserve our heritage recipes we debated about what to put in and what to leave out. We had no idea if the book would be a seller or if another opportunity to publish a book would arise but one thing was certain...
a second book kept wanting to emerge.

This summer we signed a contract with Mennomedia to publish a book called Celebrations.

We have been hard at work, selecting recipes, thinking of categories, working double time in our kitchens and doing our best to keep our camera lenses free of smudges.
We are working on the stories about life events have made us who we are and are digging deep in thinking about what we will share in regards to what God continues to teach us in the celebrations we observe.
Again we see that this book is another opportunity to bless those who have less than us and so as we spent time thinking about the food which the pages would hold...
we also spent time in prayer deciding where the royalties will go.


Celebrations will be on bookshelves May 2013.
The book cover and further details about the content of the cookbook will be announced in the upcoming days.

To celebrate this announcement we would like to give away several books of our book in progress.
Leave a comment on this post between now and Tuesday afternoon 6PM PST and we'll enter your name to win a Celebrations book.

  1. Please enter only once.
  2. Leave a name that we can use to declare the winner.
  3. Winner will be declared by random number generator and announced Wednesday morning.

  105. Congrats on the new book. I received the "old" one as a gift last Christmas. I haven't had it at home yet(although, I have read it). My mother has it in the senior's home where she lives and uses it as a conversation piece between her and her visitors and also for the employees to read when work is slow. It's a small thing she can do for them. Thankfully I can view the recipes on line.

  170. I love the inspirational teaching of Bread for Thought and always appreciate learing how to strenghten my relationship spiritually. I always remember the post The Garbage Truck when I am out. I also have really been uplifted with the help of your recipes. Sometimes I want to make something that my dear old Mother use to make but cannot remember how she did it. Or other times I am in need of a something new to make for my family. Always I check out your recipes and I am always pleased with the outcome of what I have prepared. I love your recipes and would love to celebrate the launch of your new cook book by owning a copy of "Celebrations"

  171. That is just awesome! Most of the people who comment on a recipe I've gotten from MGCC already know about the web site but I always insist they need the cookbook too - it's so good. I can't wait till Celebrations comes out - it will be on my shopping list!

Looking forward to getting one!

  176. Woo hoo! Congratulations!!! I know it takes a LOT to put a book of any kind together, even if it's your sophomore venture. I salute you ladies for the effort and love that had to go into it! May 2013 will be here before you know it, and you'll be off to the races once again. Get ready for the ride...I have a feeling it's going to be a long, fun one!!! Congrats!

  180. The Greenhouse is a perfect gift! Just think of all the food knowledge and self-providing this will do. It pulls on my heart so strongly that people all over the world go hungry. I purchased your first cookbook and I love it, I'm thrilled to see you have another coming out and definitely plan on buying it. Your blog is also one of my faves, a go to for food and pure inspiration.

  187. Celebrations - God is all about celebrating! Think about all the feasts and festivals the Isrealites had! Sometimes I think we Christians have missed the boat on how to go about celebrating with gusto, with joy, and with all that we are. Its always good to be reminded that we have so much to celebrate. How apropo to announce your next project during our Canadian celebration of Thanksgiving! I wish you smooth sauces, fresh herbs, juicy fruits, and succulent flavours as you finalize the details. Blessings!

  188. Your website has always been a blessing to me. I appreciate that you ladies have dedicated your time to documenting recipes and step by step instructions. I know that when I try a recipe and follow the directions, I will have success. :) Thank you for thinking of and blessing others (greenhouse project), with your earnings.
