Whew! That's a lot of food! I think I gained a few pounds just thinking about all the great items I can make this month. Instead of my normal shopping trip to the Lily Pad Party Place I think, this month, requires a trip to Bugs-R-Us...Lily Pad's newest and largest food store! With all these wonderful food items to celebrate this month, the cooks among you will find lots to celebrate. And be sure to come back for the August calendar!
Have a great weekend, everyone!
