Set Sail For A Great Read
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
I bought this book for my mother for Mother's Day, and every time I visit feel the need to thumb through it. I borrowed it on several occasions till finally giving in and buying a copy for myself. It is a magnificent cook book for fans of "Country" food. The "Best brownies in Texas" have become a household staple that I am constantly making. Soups, salads, entrees, this book is just a great thing to have. Pick it up and you will soon be making delicious, simple to make meals.
