Introduction
I have been cooking for years and writing about
food for almost as long. I love easy and satisfying
recipes and as a special thank you for joining my
mailing list I want to give you this free copy of
Grandma's Best Quick Breads.
Quick breads are so easy to make and you can
put them in the oven and go away and do other work
for nearly an hour and then come back and check on
them. They also keep well and freeze well. You can
always have one tucked away in your freezer in case
unexpected company shows up. Then you can at least
offer them tea and a slice of your quick bread.
All of the recipes in this cookbook are ones that
my family and I have been making for years. They're
tried and true and all are easy to make and turn out
exceptionally well every time.
You don't have to fuss with these recipes, just
whip them up, put them in the pan and bake. And
you'll have some great treats.
Enjoy!
