Grandma's Brown County Cookbook

This book was compiled from the recipes the author has grown to love as her small family of two sons grew up. She went from knowing how to bake a pone of cornbread (and that was all) when she married to being able to prepare many tasty dishes of country foods over the years. She believes in using the freshest ingredients she can find for her foods and prepares the best dishes she can to feed her husband and family. Always married to an avid gardener, if his garden fails because of heavy rains or something, she has her husbandwho does all the grocery shoppingspend a lot of time in the perimeters of every grocery looking for the healthy fruits and vegetables which she then prepares for the two of them now that the sons are grown and gone. Except for cans of beans and tomatoes that she uses to make chili, almost every dish she prepares is made from scratch using only fresh or frozen vegetables. Do not look for fancy cooking in this book because you will not find fancy. What you will find is good down-home healthy recipes which do not take a lot of time to prepare. Every young person leaving home should take a copy of this book with them so they do not have to live on fast food and will find the joy of eating like home cooking. She can only wish now that she had access to this type of cooking when she was learning to be a wife and mother.
