Farm Fresh Southern Cooking by Tammy Algood.

Farm Fresh Southern Cooking by Tammy Algood.
I am writing a review for the Cookbook “Farm Fresh Southern Cooking” that I received from Booksneeze.  When I received this book I was pleasantly surprised with this book.  It has beautiful colored pictures of some of the recipes and is very bright and colorful.  It also list the Farm’s where the food came from with contact information for them including there website which was a nice touch.  I haven’t tried all recipes in the book yet however; I did try about 15 or so.
Some of my favorites were the Coconut Peach Crisp Page 225 Delicious!   The Ring the Doorbell Caramel Apples Page 205, the whole family loved these, I will be making them again for Halloween for sure and the Basil Biscuits Page 127 they were so savory and melt in your mouth.
Thank You Booksneeze, this is a great addition to my cookbook collection.
I can’t wait with summer coming to go to the local farmer’s market in my community and keep trying these wonderful recipes.
Recommend this to anyone who loves to cook!

Stand By Me By Neta Jackson

Standy by Me was a really good book.  It was a great story and was hard to put down.  It tells a story of bright young woman form a prominent Phoenix family. But after making a leap of faith at a Christian music fest, dropping out of med school, and moving to inner city Chicago, her family all but disowns her.
When Kat discovers SouledOut Community Church, she longs to become a part of the multicultural church family. But her tendency to immediately say whatever she''s thinking steps on the toes of nearly everyone she meets-especially Avis Douglass.
Avis has a strong faith, is the principal of one of Chicago''s highest performing elementary schools, and is a founding member of SouledOut. But the country''s economic downturn has thrown both her and her husband''s jobs in question. And Avis hasn''t heard from her youngest daughter in months-an estrangement that gnaws at her every day. Where is God in this?
Kat''s flamboyant zeal for living a "radical" Christian life is a stark contrast to Avis''s more reserved faith. But in God''s timing, the two women discover they need each other in ways neither of them expected.
I laughed, cried and passed this book on.
It was a truly great story loved it!  Thank You BookSneeze.
