any ideas???

[cowgirl_tuff79]

Hi! I am going to try and raise some money to donate to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation(JDRF). I'm going to grow vegetables(pumpkins, green beans, tomatoes, ect.). I looked into doing one of those cookbook fundraisers, but I'm doing this individually and not with a big group. I was wondering if you had any other ideas for raising money. Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

Hey cowgirl,
Good idea -- I'll think on it. In the meantime, wanted to let you know that I'm a graphic designer and can help with layout if you decide to do a book. Good luck to you!

Cowgirl Tuff79, what a wonderful idea. How about telling the people you buy the seeds for your vegetables from about it and if they're interested in participating (and some extra commercial btw)?

Or is this not a good idea?

Thanks for the ideas!

I forgot that I might also do a bake sale. I was thinking having a sign-up sheet at church for people who wanted to bring stuff for the sale.

If you have any recipes that you think would be good, let me know!

I got a nice recipe but it's not 'mine' - I have it from a website, but it's so long ago that I forgot which...

squash soup:

3 tablespoons canola oil
4 cups cubed squash
1 chopped onion
1 cut apple
1/2 cup apple-cider
3 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon curry powder
salt & pepper


the onion, squash and apple you need to saute for about 5 minutes until softened. After you stir in the curry powder and salt and pepper and saute some 5 minutes more until onion becomes a bit brown. Pour in the cider and let it boil and then stir in the broth and cook for about half-an-hour. Let it cool a little bit, put in blender and while turning pour in the milk.

it's delicious :P

It sounds good! Thanks, I'll try it soon!
