The Dairy Good Cookbook

Farm families make the best cooks.  All those hungry mouths to feed after a hard days work.  Or those empty stomachs that growl upon rising.  All require good, nourishing food.  And while the food physically fills the stomach, time around the table fills the soul.   To get families around the table, good food must be present. 

That good food can be found in a brand new cookbook.  Farm families have shared their best recipes for really good food in The Dairy Good Cookbook.  It’s filled with everyday comfort food that sustains America’s dairy farm families and brings them around the table for soul-filling family time.  More than 100 recipes fill this cookbook from sunrise breakfasts to midday lunches to after-chores snacks to sundown suppers. 

It won’t be hard to gather your family around the table with these recipes. 

Sharing meals around the table is number one in our house.  Hats off, phones down, grace said.  Farm families do it too.

    I love all the wonderful cheese we get from our local farmers. I don’t think I could live life without it! And my kids will grow up with the same appreciation 🙂

    We use dairy in everything we make from cereal to cake to eggs and soup the list goes on. My kids also love a nice cold glass of milk with a cookie. Milk it does a body good! We are strong supporters of the farm communities.

    Milk is one thing I am never without in my home. When I’m out of milk it is time to go grocery shopping!

      Thanks Diane! We go through several gallons of milk a week and I’m thankful that we do!
