Good and Wholesome - Home Cooking

My home cooking is something I take a lot of pride in, but it isn't as plain as many city folk might think!

No. Here in the country we need to cook meals at home as good or better than any specialty or ethnic restaurant in the city.

The entire section of GoodByeCityLife that addresses home cooking is under review and in update. Only the most popular recipes have been saved for you, and many more are in the midst of being turned into pages for our viewers.

Why Does Country Home Cooking Taste So Good?

I'm not certain...

Perhaps it's the fresh air. After a day on the land or in the barn we're all famished and we all know how good food tastes when you're starving!

Perhaps it's the fresh ingredients in home cooking. When you've raised it or grown it yourself you know precisely what you're eating. Steroid free meat and poultry with vegetables fresh from the garden. Pickles made in your own kitchen. Bread kneaded by hand, not a machine.

Perhaps it's the love that goes into every meal. I do know a few country women (my mother-in-law for one) who neither work nor learned how to cook. Everything comes out of a can or out of the freezer section.

But many women in the country (who are even working full time) are fantastic home cooks! The secret to their delicious meals? The love and attention they put into them! They also learned how to put up huge batches of delicious foods and freeze them for a later meal.

We'll cover that too, in the home cooking section. Keep an eye on the recipe list at right for new additions.
