I'm SOOO excited!  This is my first time doing a giveaway!

Trusting you got to see my post yesterday about Lark from Lark's Country Heart .

Lark has authored 2 cookbooks - one containing recipes from family members, and the other one is a community cookbook.

She graciously sent me one to give away right here!



'OUR VALLEY COOKBOOK - VOL. 2'

It's a lovely book and I've had a grand time reading through it and trying some of the delicious dishes contained therein.

There are over 500 recipes here!

I favor REAL pictures (versus sketches or cartoons) and was tickled to see the lovely dividers in this book too.  Take a look see...
Just lovely!

Cranberry Christmas Punch

Peanut Butter Crumb Parfait (right up my alley!)

Fried macaroni's!
Mom would make them for me for my birthday!
You cook off the macaroni's, add s&P, and fry them in butter until they're nice & golden brown.

Definitely my Dad's raw potato dumplings. Serve them with a pork roast and it really brings back memories.

Oh it would be fried Okra. In the summertime we would go to the farms and pick okra, string beans and tomatoes. Mom would fry okra, cook string beans and cut up slices of tomatoes. I remember when eating dinner, how I would keep an eye on the bowl so I could have a second helping of fried okra if any was left. elizabedu3@aol.com

I would have to say Strawberry shortcakes. It reminds me of my grandparents and my Mom. I can see my Mom cutting strawberries a I can see the homemade cakes my grandfather made to so with them. Might be why I have been thinking about my grandparent a lot this week, my daughter and I were talking about Strawberry shortcakes this week.

A dish that brings back childhood memories would be fudge at Christmas! The recipe originated with Mamie Eisenhower, so it's been around a long time!
