I love researching cookbooks from other Junior Leagues across America. It’s so interesting what you will find in these books. I wanted to post a Valentine’s Day recipe for those of you who would rather stay at home and cook a lovely meal rather than head out to a restaurant. This recipe comes from The Junior League of Louisville cookbook,…

Why I joined the JLC
As a young girl, I grew up in a family that could always be found helping out in the community, the school, the church and various other functions.

As members of the Junior League of Charlotte, it’s important for us to all gather several times a year to connect on business and community needs. In the past, monthly meetings generally involved the entire membership getting together; however, in the last few years, based on member feedback, JLC leadership arranged to have a few membership meetings cater to smaller…
A way to stay warm JLC
The internet is a beautiful thing. I was doing my usual “google” search for new recipes and found a recipe from the Junior League of Houston cookbook, “Stop and Smell the Rosemary.” The recipe is for “The Best Chicken Tortilla Soup” and I can’t wait to try it out. The nights have been chilly here in the Queen City and…
