Summer in the Country by Gooseberry Patch (Everyday Cookbook Collection)

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. Firecracker Grilled Salmon and Sizzlin' Chicken are perfect for the grill, while Toasted Taffy is a fast-fix campfire dessert.

With a whole chapter of sweet treats, whipping one up is so easy...choosing between all the yummy choices is the hardest part! 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. Aunt Marj's Violet Jelly and Pioneer Day Blackberry Jam are two of our favorites.
