Sweet Blessings from Our Home

Book excerpt: In the South, food is not just a necessity; it is a way of life. Food is the centerpiece of celebration, aids in healing of the body and soul, and provides comfort in a time of need. When we gather together with family and friends, one of the first things that comes to mind is, 'What are we going to eat?' In her cookbook, Sweet Blessings, Elizabeth O. Steedley combines her love of cooking with her desire to spend time with family and friends. Sweet Blessings contains her family's favorite recipes, most of which can be easily prepared after a busy day of work allowing time for the all-important family time at the dinner table, where some of life's Sweet Blessings happen.
