Dear 2010 LBBC camp family,

I just want to say what a pleasure it was to serve with you this summer at LBBC. God did some amazing things this summer, and he used each one of us!

Hope you enjoy the cookbook. All the recipes were cut down from the giant recipes, so who knows if they will work the same way. Give them a try and let me know if they work. The only rule about cooking from this cookbook is when you make something from it, you have to give Rachel or I a call and tell us how life is going (and if the recipe worked). Hope the recipes can remind you of our great summer at LBBC.

Can’t wait to hear how God used each one of you in this next year!Miss you all already!

Your Sister in Christ,Kitchen Smack Michelle :)
