    “Food is a universal language that bypasses tension or silence. It bridges the chasm of differences,” Ellen C Lee from Food That Anchors. I was gifted this cookbook and am so glad that I have it in my collection now. The introduction by Ellen is one of the most honest introductions I think I have ever read in any book. She discussed her challenging upbringing and how even in the difficult times they always sat down to dinner and in a way that anchored her family. We all experienced different childhoods each with their own problems – some more traumatic than others. I think her introduction shows how one small action such as…

It includes recipes such as salsa verde, buttermilk pancakes with seasonal fruit compote and crème fraiche, salmon hash, charred veggie quesadillas, steak tacos, fire-roasted curry cauliflower, spaghetti with clams, grilled peaches with vanilla mascarpone and cookie crumble, and half-baked cookie.

🍫✨ Happy National Fudge Day! If there’s one dessert I could never live without, it’s fudge. Rich, chocolatey, and completely irresistible—it’s been a favorite of mine for as long as I can remember. Some of my favorite kitchen memories are making fudge with my nana. She taught me her tried-and-true recipe years ago, and it’s still the only chocolate fudge recipe I use today. Whether you're celebrating National Fudge Day or simply craving a sweet treat, this old-fashioned recipe is a keeper. 🍫 Comment fudge and I'll send you the link to Nana's Easy Old-Fashioned Chocolate Fudge Recipe!

Take a trip to the Dutton ranch with this look inside the cookbook Yellowstone: The Official Dutton Ranch Family Cookbook: Delicious Homestyle Recipes from Character and Real-Life Chef Gabriel "Gator" Guilbeau. These homestyle recipes bring a mix of flavors straight to your table. A few of the recipes that I can’t wait to make are Potato Corn Chowder, John, Kayce, and Tate’s Glazed Venison Meatballs, Kickin’ Chicken Tenders with Pickled Jalapeno Sauce, Hush Puppies, Beth and Rip’s Sweet Blueberry Cobbler. Which recipe do you want to try first in your kitchen? P.S. I got my copy of this cookbook from a sale and it was missing the small dust jacket.
