Do a Good Cooking Deed $25 Contest Winner – Judy L. from Youngsville, North Carolina:

Here in NC we've been hit by big ice storms twice this winter, but 30DG came to my rescue!! Even without power for several days, my full freezer stayed frozen! We were amongst the first to have power restored, so I was able to keep my oven and stove going all day! We (hubby and I) kept heating up meals and delivering them to people without power or having them in our home for hot meals and showers. I had enough beef stroganoff to feed 25 people, spaghetti to feed 25, pork chops for 12, not to mention plenty of soup and hot chocolate for everyone!!

It felt good to be able to feed all these hungry and cold friends, and gave the guys the needed energy to go saw up downed trees (we lost 20 on our lot alone!) and rescue some dogs from a collapsed kennel. We just had to make sure that we took our chainsaw with us when we delivered food, so that we could clear roadways as we went!! The biggest blessing was being able to minister to some dear friends, the husband is struggling in his battle with cancer and was unable to stay warm -- but the nice hot food did the trick, along with our kerosene heater.

I'm so thankful that I cooked enough food for 90 days on my last cooking day - even though it didn't last me 90 days, it was wonderful to be able to bless all these other families until their power was restored!!
