Make a Meal + Share A Meal
Planned Release date: November 2018
Genre(s): Christian, Cookbook, Mission, Inspirational, Non-Fiction, Nutrition
A farmwife and mom to 11, the author calculates she has served 3 meals a day plus snack for 30 years from her humble kitchen within a modest budget. Feeding her family of 11, and frequently sharing with families and singles in need, her wholesome cooking and large family love is rarely found in today’s kitchens. Based on her favorite go-to recipes for big batch cooking with leftovers in mind, these simple and nutritious recipes will put smiles on faces and fill hungry stomachs.
Whether you choose to prepare these recipes for your family only, or share them with others as the author recommends, you will learn to prepare meals with simple ingredients and special flavors from many cultures. In between, you’ll surely enjoy Shari’s humorous stories of life on a small farm raising livestock whose meat becomes the basis for these recipes. Vegetarians and families with special dietary needs can find numerous dishes to prepare and enjoy with simple modifications.
This cookbook was a creative detour while McMinn was writing her third non-fiction book, Death: Where is Thy Sting? You will learn about her cooking, writing, and Christian living journey as you experience her family’s meal table. Enjoy! And, Bon Appetit!
