2009 October


Welcome to the picnic!
Monthly Themes – The Gourd
This month’s theme is the gourd. Below you’ll find a fun gourd calendar, two delicious gourd soup recipes, and some beautiful gourd art. To finish it all up, I’ve included my gourd art in this month’s Lunch Box Specials. Read the last paragraph waaaay below to find out how you can participate in future newsletters or click here.

Monthly Foodie Calendar
Here is the gourd foodie calendar just for you...highlighting three white pumpkins. Just click on the link and it will take you to flickr where you can download the calendar on an 8.5” x 11” piece of paper. Please recycle – print it on the back of something else that was meant for the trash…and give that something a second life for at least another month. Find your gourd calendar here!

If you’d like a recipe featured from your blog, please contact me for sponsorship information.

Sweet Food Blogs
There are so many fabulous pumpkin and squash recipes that I just had to narrow in a bit. I've decided to focus on soups...one of my favorite dishes. Find out more here.


Food Art
I just couldn't control myself. I planned to highlight three artists, but instead picked five. Believe me, it was hard witling to just these. Find out more here.


Lunch Box Specials
This month I am highlighting my gourd illustrations. The chosen three will only be $45 each this month (that is $20 off my normal price) for subscribers of this newsletter…until they are gone. Find out more here.

Submit Your Blogs, Artwork, Ideas
As mentioned earlier, each newsletter will be inspired by a theme. Check in each month to find out about the upcoming themes and submit your recipes, blogs, or artwork that fit. I’m also open to additional theme ideas and whatever other bright things you want to share.

These are the upcoming monthly themes (remember they must relate back to food in some way!!):

November :: Cranberries
December :: Ribbons
January :: Ice
February :: Cocktails
March :: Green Tea

Please contact me with all your fabulous ideas!!
