You Be Sweet: Sharing Your Heart One Down-Home Dessert at a Time

The sharing of food is akin to the sharing of one's heart, and Patsy Caldwell and Amy Lyles Wilson can think of no better way to "be sweet."

There are myriad ways to "be sweet," of course, such as volunteering at the homeless shelter, remembering Aunt Carlisle's birthday, and writing thank-you notes. And then there is food: baking a pie for a new neighbor, icing a cake for a coworker who is ill, or mixing up a batch of brownies for a family gathering.

As with "Bless Your Heart: Saving the World One Covered Dish at a Time," Caldwell and Wilson invite you to consider that the recipes in "You Be Sweet" are about more than food. They present the opportunity for connection and community and inspire you to serve up a piece of yourself to others as an expression of welcome, sympathy, celebration, or concern.
