My friends at I Love Nice People are rolling out "A Month of Niceness" campaign, a great reminder to all of us to join them in doing a nice deed every day for the month. Their suggestion for today is "talk to someone who seems lonely" and of course my personal favorite is this Saturday's tip: "Make breakfast for your friends." I love their idea and checked in with Kate Webster, college student and co-founder of ILNP to ask about kicking off a similar calendar "30 Days of Kitchen Fun". In addition to granting approval for me to mimic her concept, she made the calendar for me. Talk about NICE!

Kate and I share some fun kitchen history--For her 10th birthday, she celebrated in the teaching kitchen with her friends and I was the lucky one who cooked alongside these cute 4th graders. I remember the scenario well--I had donated a class as part of a Hurricane Katrina fundraiser that our school was hosting and Kate's parents bought it. Next thing you know, the kitchen was full of giggling 4th grade girls. We had a ball and are in search of the photos to share the memories.

Have a NICE day, and Happy Cooking!
