Country Cooking

June is country cooking month. What exactly is that you may ask?? Well, it could mean many different things. To me it means good old cooking like my mother, grandmother, mother in law and so many others in my life cooked. Others may think it means good recipes and home made meals. Some may even associate the term with being frugal and knowing how to get the most for your cooking dollar. There may even be some that think of fatty, unhealthy foods or cooking methods. You may be surprised to know that country cooking can mean a bit of everything but I want to change the thoughts of those who think it to be unhealthy. 


Country cooking month is in June and you may be surprised to see that how much good old fashioned cooking goes on in the warm summer months. The home gardens, grilling and the amount of meals that are made simply make up that June is a great moth to host this event. Canning and freezing also makes up a lot of country cooking time. 



To those of you who think that country cooking is unhealthy this is not always true. The old artery clogging, fat filled meals that were made with lard using vintage recipes has changed. Health needs and options for cooking has changed and country cooks have altered recipes to accommodate new cooking methods, foods, seasonings and serving ideas. The awesome flavor still shine out in these delicious country cooking meals. 


In the next few days be watching for many great country cooking recipes shared here.
