An Ordinary Collection of Recipes?
I suppose from the outside, this looks like an ordinary collection of recipes. But really, its
extraordinary. Its an outward reflection of an extraordinary bond between extraordi-
nary women brought together through extraordinary circumstances.
The bond? Diaper bags.
The women? Diaper bag addicts.
The circumstances? A diaper bag chat room.
Ju-Ju-Be diaper bags, to be exact.
Aside from Ju-Ju-Be bags being gorgeous, ingenious, and of the highest quality, they
seem to breed a fanaticism among the women who buy them. So perhaps it was only
natural that the siren song of Ju-Ju-Be would eventually draw them together. Thats
how the Pink Room, a chat space at the Ju-Ju-Be website, came to be.
But a passion for Ju-Ju-Bes is only the backdrop here. The true story is that the Pink
Room is an emotional sanctuary for us Pink Ladies. Its free of the normal drama of
chat rooms and full of the love, support, and, well, "mothering" that we all need some-
times. If one of us can't afford new baby clothes, ten Pink Ladies will offer to send boxes
of hand-me-downs. If a new mama's daughter can't sleep through the night, she'll get
hugs and suggestions from the veterans. Pink Ladies understand how tough it is to
manage family, life, and love...how delightful sloppy soft baby kisses are...how relieving it

is to know that any hour of day or night, someone really nice is waiting to hear from
you. As Pink Lady jmommy put it recently: You may be looking into a screen, but real
women with real hearts are on the other side looking back.
These women have truly become my best friends...even though hardly any of us have
ever met. Thats one of the reasons Im so glad that we decided to create this cookbook.
My Pink Ladies wont feel so far away theyll be right there in my kitchen with me.
Its my sincere wish that in picking up this cookbook, youll feel for yourself the thing we
call Pink Lady love.
I dont think the wonderful people behind Ju-Ju-Be ever imagined that their little fo-
rum would branch out so beautifully and become a cooling shelter for women around
the world. I certainly never would have predicted that Id find a home for my heart
somewhere out in cyberspace. But thats what makes the Pink Room, the Pink Ladies
even the Pink Ladies Cookbook so extraordinary.

40 small-medium mushrooms
(not too big or the mush-
rooms don't cook through)
1 lb. sausage (regular flavor)
8 oz. cream cheese
1 bunch green onions,
chopped
Brown the sausage and then mix the
sausage, cream cheese, and onions to-
gether. Stuff the mushrooms and place
them in a shallow baking dish or a
cookie sheet with raised sides (a lot of
water comes off the mushrooms, so
there's a lot of liquid). Bake at 350 for
about 20 minutes or until the mush-
rooms are done to your liking. You can
even make the filling a couple of days
ahead. Delicious, easy, and impressive!

Salsa
submitted by: yazzy
the quantities of your ingredients will de-
pend on how spicy you like your salsa.
I usually do 2 big tomatoes, 3 jalapeoes, 1Garlic clove, and 1/2 tsp of salt.
Put around 2 or 3 cups of water to boil;
add the tomatoes, chilies, garlic, and salt;
then cook until they get nice and soft. Put
them into the blender (do not put the wa-
ter in it since will be enough with the juice
of the tomatoes) blend until your desired
consistency. Allow to cool.
Recommendation: turn on the fan while
cooking!

2 packages (8 ounces) cream
cheese, softened
3/4 cup hot pepper sauce (I use
Frank's Red Hot)
1 cup bleu cheese salad dressing
(or Ranch)
2 cans (10 oz) chunk white
chicken, drained and shred
ded (about 1 lb. fresh
chicken)
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar
cheese
In mixing bowl, combine the cream
cheese, hot pepper sauce and salad
dressing. Stir in chicken. Spread into 11-
in. x 7-in. baking dish. Sprinkle with
cheddar cheese. Bake, uncovered, at
350 for 20-22 minutes or until heated
through. Makes about 5 cups.
You can also make this ahead of time
and heat it in a slow cooker if you want.
The dip stays hot during a party that
way, too. I use can chicken for conven-
ience, but have used fresh chicken if I
have time. If you don't want it spicy, you
can use less hot sauce. You can also layer
it instead of mixing it all together. Just
put the dressing/cream cheese mixture
on the bottom, chicken and wing sauce
mixed together in middle layer, and topwith the cheese.

1 tomato
1 small onion
salt1 jalapeo pepper
(optional)
1 lime
Cut the avocado in half and take the
seed out. This can be easily done by
hitting the side with the sharp end of
the knife; the seed will get stuck in theknife and then you can give it a little
hit with the handle of a butter knife
and will come out.
Put the avocado in a bowl, smashed,
then dice the tomato and onion. Add
to the avocado, mix well. Add salt andlime, as desire.
