At My Grandmother's Knee {Cookbook Giveaway and Some Winners!!!}

**Sorry, giveaway is closed**
I have such a treat for you today! Recently, I was given the opportunity to review this great cookbook. It is filled with  recipes and memories passed down from Southern grandmothers. The recipes are fabulous, and it's so neat to be able to glimpse into these amazing women's lives. The author, Faye Porter, does a fabulous job capturing the love and guidance so many of us have experienced with our grandmothers, and yes, probably in their kitchens. There are so many tempting recipes, but my favorite and the first one I am going to try is the Red Velvet Cake recipe on page 198. It looks so authentic, and has the real Red Velvet Frosting - the one made with milk that is cooked. Don't get me wrong, I like cream cheese frosting, but that's not how my mom makes her Red Velvet Cake, and I have been searching for a recipe like this! I will let you know how it turns out! 

The other recipe I can't wait to try out is the Blueberry Pancakes. You will find it below on page 21.


Don't they sound delish? You absolutely cannot go wrong with Blueberry Pancakes!While your flipping through to get to the Blueberry Pancakes, take a minute to look at all the other yumminess {Patsy's Chocolate Chip Pancakes, and Sausage Biscuits} you will find, and remember, this is just the preview! There's so much more packed into this delightful book like, Nanny's Coconut Cake, Blackberry Fried Pies, and of course, Grandmother's Deep-Fat-Fried Chicken. 

As if it could get better, they have offered a copy for one of my readers! All you have to do is leave a comment telling me about a memory or favorite recipe you have with your grandma!
