Dear Friend, The journey to Grandma's house ended by driving down a long, bumpy farm lane and coming to a handsome farmhouse set among tall trees. We'd visit on the porch for awhile and then, when we couldn't sit still any longer, we'd run inside where delicious scents greeted us! Faint traces of cloves and ginger lingered in the house, a reminder of yesterday's canning.as well as the sweet aroma of still-warm fresh peach pie and apple dumplings. Her best-loved recipes were never written down. they were always just "A Pinch of This, A Dash of That", which we felt was the perfect title for our book! It's full of the best recipes we remember from family homecomings. Country Pork Chops, Whipped Sweet Potatoes, Mom's Potato Salad, Buttermilk Biscuits, Daisy Brown Sugar Cookies and Texas Sheet Cake. We've also tucked in lots of fun quotes full of good, old-fashioned advice. Take some time to settle down in the porch swing and plan a family homecoming.

enjoy the pleasure of friendships, old and new, and happy times with family!, From our family to yours, Vickie & Jo Ann.
