The Farm Wife in the Kitchen: Recipes from Home

Some of the best recipes don't come from cookbooks. They come from handwritten cards, well-used notebooks, and scraps of paper tucked away in a kitchen drawer.

The Farm Wife in the Kitchen: Recipes from Home is a collection of the foods that have found a place at my family's table over the years. Some were handed down through generations. Others came from family and friends, and a few were created or adapted in my own kitchen.

These aren't fancy recipes requiring hard-to-find ingredients or complicated techniques. They're the kind of food we cook at home—soups and casseroles, appetizers and side dishes, breads, desserts, and, of course, the sweet tea and lemonade that belong on any Southern porch.

Inside you'll find family favorites such as Aunt Dot's Hot Rolls, Apple Pie with Cheese Crust, Baked Potato Soup, Chicken Enchiladas, Macaroni & Cheese, Mom's Chocolate Cake, Orange Sherbet, and plenty more.

More than anything, these are recipes from home—the foods connected to people, memories, gatherings and ordinary meals around the table.

If you enjoy simple home cooking and recipes that come with a little history behind them, pull up a chair. There's always room for one more at the table.

The Farm Wife in the Kitchen: Recipes from Home is a 53-page digital cookbook delivered as a PDF, so you can save it to your device or print the recipes you want to keep close at hand.
