Sweet Potato Casserole Recipe Layout
I'm creating a Recipe book for my daughter. I've
done a cookie & pie recipe. This is a new Sweet
Potato Casserole recipe that was in the newspaper
that we made for Thanksgiving and liked alot. For
the topping it calls for crushed Corn Flakes & chopped
Pecans. I did not have Corn Flakes so I used crushed
Corn Chex and did not have Pecans so I used Walnuts.
Was yummy.

Pizzelle Cookie Recipe Layout
Created this layout of one of my favorite cookies,
Pizzelle Cookies, that I make at Christmas time.
For those who may not know Pizzelle Cookies are
also known as Italian Wedding Cookies. The

lends them to be perfect for Christmas. The
