Weekly Dish

I’ve been writing lately about yummy things that I like to make and give away recently largely because I love the spirit of giving the holiday season inspires. In the midst of your baking and shopping for those you know and love, I’d like to encourage you to also think about giving to those whom you don’t know, to those who are in need.

Menu for Hope is a fundraising campaign started by Chez Pim and supported by foodbloggers worldwide. This year, proceeds will benefit the United Nations World Food Programme, an organization that works to distribute food to needy populations across the globe.

So, how can you participate? Well, first check the amazing list of food-related prizes over at Chez Pim. Decide what you’d like to bid on, and follow these easy instructions:
