A long time ago, I can't even remember when exactly, I received the Mary Englebreit newsletter via email.
It contained her usual cuteness, of course, and then she asked if anyone would like to submit a recipe for
her new slow cooker cookbook. Why yes, I think I would! So I sent her a little chocolate cake
recipe that I make in the crock pot. The more I thought about that recipe, (it's been around forever), the more I thought maybe I should send her another that no one had ever heard of. I thought I might have a better chance of getting in the cookbook that way. So I made one up! It turned out pretty good so I submitted it. (It's a lemon cake with white chocolate chips) Then months and months went by and I didn't hear anything from the Mary Englebreit people and I kind of forgot about the whole thing.
Well, take a look at what came in the mail a couple of weeks ago!
Signed by Mary herself. Even her autograph's cute.
Recipe #1.

That is so cool...you are such a smart lady too! I do love her things a bunch, I followed her blog for awhile but sad to say, she uses the GOD word way too much, it really surprised me! ;D
Can you share the recipes on here? I would totally love the Lemon cake one =0)
You are the second blogger I follow who has a recipe in this book. Now for sure I need to hunt it down. I have almost all of her other ones. Good for you Sue..must be nice to see your name in print. :D
Both cakes sound yummy!
Happy belated Anniversary. 39 Years is remarkable!! (Cute couple you and the Mr.)

You're published! That's awesome!
A crock pot cake sounds like the way to go!
And you are SO Mary Englebreit in all that you do. I have a chance to see her next week...I'll be in the same building she will be doing a presentation. Bet she has those cookbooks and I'm going to get one.
I mean now that it's a published recipe you just can't give it away!
I UNDERSTAND!
And Congratulations this is one of the unexpected suprises you get in life, yeah for you!
And may I have your autograph???
How wonderful!!! They were both published too! I didn't even know you could make cake in the crock pot. I use mine mostly for stews, roasts and chicken. Congratulations!!
