I grew up with hot
buttermilk biscuits, gravy, meat, eggs, fried potatoes, and sometimes
fried apples on the breakfast table every single morning. Over the years
I acquired a valued collection of my own favorite recipes. They are a
whisper from days gone by. A trip to the past when breakfast was the most
important meal of the day. The first meal of the morning was a celebration
of life and the gift of a new day. Breakfast was a time for families to
congregate and fortify one another for the hectic, uncertain day that
lay ahead.

Most of the recipes

content in your food by substituting ingredients when you cook at home.
You have no such control over the food you eat in restaurants.
The following quote
sums up my thoughts exactly: “Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like
a prince, and dinner like a pauper.”
-- Adele Davis (1904-1974).
Therefore, if you are going to eat one good meal today, make it breakfast.”

I had the privilege of editing this book--and what a tempting challenge!
Can you imagine remaining at the computer, sticking to the job, while
reading all the yummy ingredients in these recipes? Well, it wasn't
easy, and took all my will-power, but I did it--most of the time!
To be honest, I
must admit I made several quick trips to the kitchen to try a few of
Janet Sue Terry's "smoothies." Just to keep my energy up,
you understand? LOL ...
Seriously, the recipes
in this book are out-of-this-world. They take me back to my childhood
in Ohio when my dear, sweet mother prepared many of these same dishes.
This is serious
soul food; FEEL-GOOD FOOD! I promise, you'll leave the table a happier
person. And if you're the cook, your reward will be the contented, appreciative
smiles on the faces of your loved ones.
This is a book that
should be in everyone's collection. A 5-star book ... for 5-star dining!!!
