There's nothing like the breezy days of summer...the freshest produce, grilling outdoors, swaying on the porch swing and watching the kids chase fireflies. A trip to the farmers' market, or a short walk to your own backyard, give us reasons to share the most flavorful dishes with our family & friends. We're celebrating all these memories in the making with Summer in the Country. Breakfast is a breeze when serving Aunt Emma-line's Strawberry Muffins, and packing a picnic or toting a dish to a reunion couldn't be easier...just pair up Confetti Coleslaw with Beverly's Fried Chicken. Firecracker Grilled Salmon and Sizzlin' Chicken are perfect for the grill, while Toasted Taffy is a fast-fix campfire dessert. With a whole chapter of sweet treats, whipping one up is so easy...choosing between all the yummy choices is the hardest part! You'll find recipes for old-fashioned favorites like Lazy Daisy Cake, Flowerpot Cupcakes and Watermelon Slice Cookies inside. We've also included a chapter of food gifts to give...straight from your summer kitchen. Aunt Marj's Violet Jelly and Pioneer Day Blackberry Jam are two of our favorites. The weather is perfect, so set a date and call your friends, family & neighbors. It's time to celebrate summer...in the country!
