Coming This Summer!
Stocked with more than 100 blue-ribbon and family-favorite recipes, this book is a testament to Linda’s life as a splendid Southern cook. Her daughter Cathy’s top-pick lasagna that she requests each year for her birthday, her youngest daughter Elizabeth’s favorite oatmeal cake, and the sauerkraut her husband raves over are sandwiched between buttermilk biscuits and yeast rolls, fudge every which way, the chicken salad and pimiento cheese she makes each Christmas, and canned goods galore. And Linda couldn’t leave out her personal favorite–taco soup and Mexican cornbread. “You talk to a hundred people, and each one will tell you something different that they like,” says Linda. Rest assured, everyone will find a new favorite in the pages of this book, strewn with family stories, photos, and a taste of Linda’s other hobbies—poetry and quilting, to name a few.
Now is Linda’s chance to finally share her blue-ribbon recipes with the world.
