Cookbook Book Club, Volume Two - Farmhouse Rules

The May Cookbook Book Club

was at Linderhof

The theme I chose 

Nancy Fuller's Farmhouse Rules

I found Nancy when her very first episode of Farmhouse Rules aired

I liked the fact that

a - she was not a young chick

b - she used fresh ingredients but cooked simple good food

c - she lived in an old house

(although much older than Linderhof)

d - she liked antiques

e - she wears and apron!

And I've watched each episode of her series as it was aired

I have some recorded, too, which I re-watch

She published a cookbook, and, of course, I had to buy it!

And I've cooked a lot from it.

I like Nancy

Therefore, it made sense for the Cookbook Book Club theme for May

to be "Farmhouse Rules"

The "Gigi Juice" I chose was Spiked Arnold Palmers

Even the non bourbon drinkers thought it tasty!

The food table was set up in the breakfast room

So we can serve ourselves

“Donna’s” Stuffed mushrooms

“Donna’s” Roquefort grapes

Sausage Stew

“Angela’s” Butter Mint Peas

“Barbara’s”Grandma’s Potato Salad

“Rita’s” Kicked Up Cuban Salad

“Edra’s”Bananas Pudding with Homemade Vanilla Wafers

“Rhonda’s” Strawberry  Jelly Roll

“Gigi Juice” Spiked Arnold Palmer

Appetizers

Donna's Stuffed Mushrooms

Donna's Roquefort Grapes

Dinner

Sausage Stew

(the host always provides the entree -- 

as well as the "Gigi Juice"

Angela's Butter Mint Peas

 Rita's Kicked Up Cuban Salad

Barbara's Grandma's Potato Salad

(Nancy's Grandma not Barbara's!)

Edra's Banana Pudding with Homemade Vanilla Wafers

Rhonda's Strawberry Jelly Roll

The meal was delicious

Every recipe but mine came from the internet

(which means from Farmhouse Rules episodes)

for no one else had the cookbook

Everyone agreed that their particular dish was easy

(yes, even Edra said that the homemade vanilla wafers were easy)

which is one of the reasons that I like to watch Nancy

We are all looking forward to June

It's Road Trip time!
