Plain Cookin', Recipes From The Heartland! v1 Ebook

About The Authors

Kathy Quackenbush

The recipes in "Plain Cookin' - Volume 1" are inspired by Kathy's family. In fact, Kathy has painstakingly transcribed many of the recipes from yellowed, dog-eared pages of her "great-grandmother, grandmother and her Mom.

Kathy hails from southwestern Kansas where she was born and raised on the family homestead in a huge white farmhouse. She remembers driving the old 1930's vintage truck to haul the crops as a very young girl and fishing in the pond on the property.

Kathy grew up on that farm, went away to college, married, raised four sons and started her own successful floral business. She never forgot the values that were instilled in her as a child.

Preparing these recipes to share, and more to come in future volumes, was a labor of love. It brought back many happy memories of lazy summer days and cold winter nights.

Kathy's Mom recently went to join her other ancestors and it is with pride and fond memories that we dedicate this ebook in her honor. Thanks, Margaret, you were really a "class act!"
