Granny Nancy's Cook Book

About the Book

This recipe book is sooo good! People that don’t even cook LOVE to read it! In this book I am introducing many of my personal thoughts that I shall refer to as opinion recipes. Not everything that I say will fit everybody, I wrote info as I see it although you have the option as a reader to either use it or loose it. LOL It’s up to the reader to make choices, my book is not telling you what to do. I just tend to suggest a lot. Capishe? I hope all of my opinion recipes are helpful and inspiring. I just want to help everyone see things clearly hopefully before you are in a situation that you prefer not to be. Now, as far as the food recipes, you will find recipes in this book that are my very own creations and recipes that have been shared with me sometimes not knowing where they originated. And there are those recipes that have been passed down in my family…some for many generations. Nancy Douglass
