Summer in the Country

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.

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.
