Patch - 101 Farmhouse Favorites

Afternoons at Grandmas farmhouse always seemed to be sunny...a warm breeze blowing through cotton curtains, endless fields of green, relaxing on the porch with a glass of lemonade and looking forward to what shed make for dinner. No matter what was served in her kitchen, the meals were always made with love, and the recipes were treasures passed down through generations. Those mouthwatering, tried & true classics were our inspiration for this collection. 101 Farmhouse Favorites is filled with all the wonderful dishes that made meals at the farmhouse so memorable, and now you can inspire warm memories of your own! Start your morning off right with a slice of Easy Bacon Frittata, some Swirled Coffee Cake or a heapin plateful of Blueberry French Toast. Savor the best from the garden with fresh soups & salads like Zesty Minestrone, Sunflower-Strawberry Salad and Cabbage Tomato Slaw. Gather the family round the table for dinner with easy favorites like Cayenne Fried Chicken, BBQ Pork Ribs, Grandmas Buttery Mashed Potatoes and Green Bean Bundles.

Theres no better way to top off a hearty farmhouse dinner than with a luscious dessert...how about a big slice of Strawberry-Rhubarb Pie or Root Beer Cake? Big, frosty scoops of Butter Pecan Ice Cream are sure to hit the spot too! Weve also included a canning chapter in 101 Farmhouse Favorites, with great recipes that let you store away a little bit of summer to enjoy all year long.
