We couldn’t agree more with our beloved Ms. Montgomery ! What a wonderful month – the delights of freshly picked apples, cool crisp nights, absolutely glorious fall colours, the family gathering for Thanksgiving and the excitement surrounding Halloween. We could go on and on ( we only wish October did !).
Hoping that wherever you are in the world, you’re enjoying a magnificent Fall season.
Warmest Regards!
Best of Bridge
Although summer is not officially over until September 22nd, we collectively feel some of that summer sadness tugging at our heartstrings. But at the same time what a glorious season for home cooks! The vegetables – gorgeous ripe tomatoes (that bear NO resemblance to the waxy counterparts we’re forced to buy in winter), buttery beans, sun kissed peppers. And the fruit is simply spectacular. We’re probably eating at least 3 peaches a day followed by local cantaloupe and plums. Sigh……….
But just in case you think that all we’ve been doing is eating (which OK we have been doing for what seems is most of August) , we’re delighted to tell you that The Complete Best of Bridge Cookbooks Volume 3 is on it’s way to a store near you as we speak. It features all 350 recipes from That’s Trump and Aces and actually the Zucchini-Tomato recipe on the homepage is from Volume 3.
We also wanted to thank all of you for the incredible support and enthusiasm you’ve shown for the newsletter! There’s over 2,000 of you and counting – more than we ever could have hoped for. Let us know what you think about the last few issues – we’re open to suggestions and if there’s something you love let us know but more importantly, if there’s something we’re missing, please let us know.
If you haven’t already, don’t forget to sign up for our newsletter where you’ll have access to recipes not found on the site plus loads of opportunities to enter fun and easy contests and giveaways.
Have a safe and sunny September!
If we had as little on our minds as elephants do, we could remember too!
It’s now super quick and easy to find all your favourite Bridge recipes because we’ve installed a handy “Recipes” link at the top of our home page AND you can also access the recipes from any other page on the site! You can now search by the refined categories or tags, or simply type in a word in “Search” and all the recipes and articles pertaining to that word will appear.
There’s also terrific news for those of you who are on Facebook and Pinterest. We’ve created our very own Best of Bridge Facebook page and Pinterest board. So now when you click on “Join the Conversation” you can see what we’re up to and what members of the Bridge community are also interested in and talking about. In fact we loved the asparagus photo Maureen Walton posted on Facebook so much, we wanted to share it with everyone on our homepage. Thanks Maureen!

Finally in other Bridge news, we’re in the closing stretch of sending the files for The Complete Best of Bridge Cookbooks, Volume 3 to the printer. It will feature all 350 recipes from That’s Trump and Aces and should be ready to ship to stores by late August. A chance to complete your collection if you’re a long time fan or part of the next generation who want to enjoy simple recipes with gourmet results.
As always, we wish you continued fun and success in your kitchen!
The easiest way to find something that’s lost around the house is to buy a replacement.
The trouble with opportunity is it always looks bigger going than coming.

Sorry for the mess but over the next few days you’re going to find it somewhat tricky to find some of your favourite Bridge recipes. That’s because construction is currently underway to make all the recipes easier to locate and use on the site. We apologize for the inconvenience and we promise to get this “renovation” completed as quickly as possible.
Thanks for your patience and understanding!
We wish you much health, happiness (and great food!) in 2013!

Wishing you a January free of the blahs and remember, it doesn’t matter what you eat between Christmas and New Year…… it’s what you eat between New Year and Christmas that really counts!
WHEW! As of last Friday, we completed our 7-city publicity tour for our new slow cooker book. We’re still a bit tired (travelling between Regina and Saskatoon by bus will do that to you… planes were grounded by freezing rain) but absolutely thrilled and delighted about how the whole experience unfolded. From meeting all of the talented media folks to you, our dear Bridge readers. What an absolute pleasure and privilege to meet you! Thank you for stopping by to say “hello”, sharing your stories and sharing your favourite Bridge recipes. You’ve left us with memories that we’re going to treasure for years to come.
Here we are having a blast on Canada AM and demonstrating just how easy it is to prepare Christmas Morning Wife Saver, Crab and Artichoke Dip and Hot Cranberry Sipper in a slow cooker:
