Bringing the Country Home

You don’t have to live in the country to bring the bounty of the country to your dinner table. The recipes in this cookbook come together by keeping simple staples stocked in your pantry along with picking up fresh fruit and vegetables at your local grocer or farmers market, and choosing good cuts of meat. I guarantee that by doing these simple things, you’ll have all the necessary ingredients to bring the bounty of the country home in a brown paper bag! Add the right amount of herbs and seasonings to the mix and you will have what it takes to cook up the best dishes the bounty of the country has to offer, right in your own suburban kitchen!

The recipes you will find in my cookbook show you how easy it is to make homemade jam from fresh picked berries, homemade breads, quick dinners that compete with 5 star restaurants for a fraction of the price, and how to take simple ingredients like beans, pasta, herbs, meat and veggies and turn them into time honored favorite dishes your family will cherish for generations to come. Bake up pies, cookies, fudge and cobblers and whip up divine salads, dips and salsa’s that will have you feeling like the countryside is right outside your front door, and the breeze streaming in through your kitchen window is right off the farm.

These recipes are dishes your whole family will enjoy, and recipes that you can feel good about serving them. Best of all, you don’t have to be a chef or a great cook to make these recipes!

From my suburban kitchen to yours, cheers to having fun in the kitchen and to bringing the family together around the dinner table to enjoy time treasured traditional recipes that are simply scrumptious.

Last but not least, let’s not forget what dinner time is all about, coming together! So, whether you’re enjoying a lucky leprechaun milkshake in early spring, sipping on raspberry lemonade in the heat of summer or camped out around the fireplace with a warm cup of hot coco in hand during the holiday’s, why not top your dinner off each night with a card game with family and friends. You will have great food to eat and memories to cherish.

Where I come from, the dinner table is the heart of the home.

Best wishes for great dishes,
