From New York Times bestselling author Sandra Lee comes her debut novel, a heartwarming story about food, family, and forgiveness. Grace Holm-D'Angelo is at her wit's end, trying to create a new life from broken pieces. Newly divorced, she is navigating suddenly becoming a single mother to her fourteen-year-old daughter. Emma, resentful about being uprooted from Chicago to LA and still reeling from the divorce, is generally giving her mother a hard time. Then Grace's best friend, Leeza, succumbs to breast cancer after a long battle, and Grace realizes that you don't get a second chance at life. She returns to her hometown of New London, Wisconsin, to try to reconcile with her own mother, Lorraine, with whom she's been estranged for longer than she cares to remember. Over the course of the summer, Grace rediscovers the healing powers of cooking, coming to terms with your past, and friendship, and learns you can go home again, and sometimes that's exactly where you belong. The Recipe Box celebrates mothers, daughters, and friendships, and also features Sandra's delicious original recipes.

Finished my 2nd audiobook for the #BookFitnessChallenge while walking the lake trails today. It was perfect weather, a little windy, but not to cold. I had my vanilla earl grey tea to keep me cozy, and a light and easy read. This book was really enjoyable. Likeable characters, and an easy going rhythm that made it perfect for walking.

TheSpineView Good job! 5y

@Leelee.reads I am dead at how perfect my #feedareader box is. As soon as I saw that Bonnie Tyler/ Pizza tea towel, I gasped and my son went “MOM ARE YOU OK?” I am so excited about the books and *I might* have hidden the treats from my husband. I‘ll make it up to him in French toast. 😂 your note about the chocolate bar was so funny. What a perfect coincidence! Thank you so much!!!

readingjedi That tea towel is perfection 🍕🍕🍕 6y
AmyG Agreed! Great tea towel. 6y
Kappadeemom That towel! ❣️ 6y
Leelee.reads Yay! 6y
night_shift Ok, that's a towel, but I want a bag with that in it 😆 6y

@arubabookwoman totally spoiled me in the #LetsCook swap. A notebook with lots of yummy recipes, tea, a rosemary planting kit, a mermaid notepad, a journal, and a bookmark summing up my philosophy. I can't take a picture of the chocolate bar cause I already ate it! Thank you for all the wonderful goodies!

Almost done with this #feedareader package! There‘s a little something hiding behind the envelope too! I‘m so excited for this to get @TheBookHippie ❤️ I plan to send it out sometime this week!

Also, I am the worst person for wrapping gifts so I am pretty proud of what I did here! (I don‘t even wrap gifts for my kids usually).

MinDea 👏👏👏👏 7y
TricksyTails Yayyyyy! Your wrapping looks perfect! Mine is embarrassing! I always feel bad for my match. 😄 7y
ElishaLovesBooks @TricksyTails It took me a long time. . . and I didn‘t put in the picture the wrapping paper graveyard that was all over the place 😂😂 7y

TricksyTails Bwahahahaha! We are SO the same when it comes to wrapping. I have no idea how I manage to get tangled in tape all the time too! 7y
TricksyTails LOTS of cursing ends up happening! 🤣 7y
ElishaLovesBooks @TricksyTails LOL!!! When the ribbon came out my kids were like- mom, are you sure you know what to do with that? And then my 14 year old offered to do it for me-I was all, I can do it myself!! I definitely have a reputation!!😜😝 7y
TricksyTails 😂 Awww! Ribbon? Nope. I don‘t even touch the ribbon. Disaster waiting to happen. I tried being fancy and curling the ribbon with the scissors and ended up slicing my finger. 🤣 I‘d seriously have better luck with Tanuki wrapping them instead! So they are lucky if I even use the wrapping paper! 7y
ElishaLovesBooks @TricksyTails Haha!!! You are making me feel better! I thought I was the only one!! 7y
TricksyTails 😂 Happy to help! I can guarantee I am the worst at wrapping! It‘s the perfect storm of cluelessness and klutziness! 😅 7y
TheBookHippie I can't wrap either 🤣 I'm headed to an actual postal office in town sometime this week to mail yours out!! So fun!!! 7y
ElishaLovesBooks @TheBookHippie I plan to mail it Wednesday or Thursday! And then we‘ll be tortured looking at the boxes until 3/31 😂🤣😜 (edited) 7y
mabell I think I used that exact same wrap for my feedareader! 😳🤣😂👍 7y
ElishaLovesBooks @mabell Great minds think alike 💕😊 7y
