It’s my hope that you left this series feeling empowered to cook at least one thing from scratch that you haven’t previously.

Now, I have one question for you {okay, 2 – but the other is over on Facebook}:

 If I took this series & made it into an e-book, is this something that would interest you?  If so, is there anything you’d like me to elaborate on in the e-book that I didn’t in this series?  

I hope you had a good time with this series; I certainly did!  It was a treat to share this journey with you.  Thanks for reading along – and, be sure to stop by on Facebook to interact with the FJiMK community today!

  1. I definitely like the idea of an ebook. I think that you should include some of your favorites, but also some brand new recipes. And maybe a section on reducing sugar and adding in whole grains?

  2. I think it was a great series, I'm not a big fan of ebooks - I prefer to save things in my own storage methods - they become like cookbooks I don't open LOL

    However I think it is a good collection - go for it!
