Gilly's Place: Dirty Martini Tomatoes

Welcome to Gilly's Place

A few years ago my granddaughters asked me to put together a cookbook of about 20 family favorite recipes and when I did the 20 pages looked rather skimpy so I added more, and more, and more till their binders held 60. Heavily embellished I gave them to the girls at Christmastime. Every Christmas since then I've added 60 more pages to their collections and have reached the 300 mark...and they're looking forward to getting even more. These are not random recipes, they're all tried and true. Anyway, when word got around it seems everybody and their second cousin wanted a cookbook so I began selling them to cover the cost of materials and now I'm passing them on to others as digital freebies, who like me, enjoy family, friends, cooking, and sharing. Print the pages to a standard letter size and save them in any old binder that blends with your kitchen. Please do print them for yourself and gift-giving to family and friends but please do not claim as your own as it wouldn't be fair to the designers I buy from or the wonderful talent that is freely given by bloggers. I'd love to hear from you and if you leave a comment on a post I will reply on the same. Please don't leave anything on the 4shared page, I seldom think to check those.

Dirty Martini Tomatoes

Hey Nancy & Betty, thanks again. As for the gingerbread, hahaha, I picked up five new sets this year and can't seem to pull myself away from this one. I just absolutely love Just So Scrappy's "Gingeriffic"

As mentioned earlier this week here's the recipe. This, too, makes a great give-away for someone who's just turned of legal age, someone puttting in a home bar, etc. Package a basket or bag with a set of great martini glasses, cocktail spears and napkins, a bottle of Russian Vodka, Grey Goose, Absolut, or Smirnoff-whatever your budget allows. Fancy schmanchy chocolates abound this time of year too, great addition. Just have fun with it.

Thanks for stoppin in, catch 'ya later!
