Summary

“Spectacular cake creations [that] are positively bursting with beauty, color, flavor, and fun . . . this book will ignite the baking passion within you!” —Pioneer Woman Ree Drummond, #1 New York Times–bestselling author  Grandbaby Cakes is the debut cookbook from sensational food writer, Jocelyn Delk Adams. Since founding her popular recipe blog, Grandbaby Cakes, in 2012, Adams has been putting fresh twists on old favorites. She has earned praise from critics and the adoration of bakers both young and old for her easygoing advice, rich photography, and the heartwarming memories she shares of her grandmother, affectionately nicknamed Big Mama, who baked and developed delicious, melt-in-your-mouth desserts.  Grandbaby Cakes pairs charming stories of Big Mama’s kitchen with recipes ranging from classic standbys to exciting adventures—helpfully marked by degree of difficulty—that will inspire your own family for years to come. Adams creates sophisticated flavor combinations based on Big Mama’s gorgeous centerpiece cakes, giving each recipe something familiar mixed with something new. Not only will home bakers be able to make staples like yellow cake and icebox cake exactly how their grandmothers did, but they’ll also be preparing impressive innovations, like the Pineapple Upside-Down Hummingbird Pound Cake and the Fig-Brown Sugar Cake. From pound cakes and layer cakes to sheet cakes and “baby” cakes (cupcakes and cakelettes), Grandbaby Cakes delivers fun, hip recipes perfect for any celebration.  “[Adams] offers up her greatest hits alongside sweet stories of her family’s generations-old baking traditions.” —People.com  “There is a heritage of love and tradition steeped in her recipes . . . A trip down memory lane that ends with delicious treats on your table.” —Carla Hall, TV chef and author of Carla Hall’s Soul Food

    Calling all anglers, hunters, outdoorspeople, and cooks! Essential Fish and Game Cookbook is jam-packed with ways for you to enjoy mouthwatering, wholesome meals, from shore lunches to gourmet dinners using the fish you've caught and the wild game you've harvested. Recipes are made with locally sourced, seasonal ingredients and are user-friendly with few ingredients and preparation steps. Learn the differences in how to cook wild fish and game versus domestic game. For example, domestic turkeys can be cooked as one full piece and will be juicy and delicious; whereas wild turkeys need to be broken down and cooked in parts because the differences in muscle and fat require different times and temperatures. Author Scott Leysath, The Sporting Chef, also provides information on preparing fish and game, field care, processing, and storage. Prepare your catch and create delicious meals for you and your family.

    If you have bought this book, I’m sure you are keen to learn about holistic living and herbal healing. Many of us have heard about the power of everyday natural ingredients, but most of us stayed far from these concoctions and teas as we didn’t know where to begin. Many even think it’s hard and can drill a hole into your pocket. 
    What if I give you a one-stop formula to prepare all these herbal concoctions at home? Over the years, we have recognized the importance and benefits of leading a holistic life. This book is your one-stop-all for herbal remedies that nurture and heal the whole family. 
    When I started years ago, it was frustrating. I was leading a hectic and chaotic lifestyle, but it started taking a toll on my health. I was working a job I loved, but there was no work-life balance. After working for 16 hours at a stretch, eating all kinds of junk foods, and being stuck in traffic while traveling back home, I could only crash on the bed. My work-hard and party-harder lifestyle did not help my well-being either. 
    At one point, I was suffering through multiple health issues and hit rock bottom with my mental health. One day, I decided I couldn’t go on like this anymore, and that was when I took the right steps to change my life.

    Research involving goats, sheep, and cattle indicates that animals have an instinctual ability to select foods that provide essential vitamins and nutrients. Throughout history, humans have exhibited similar tendencies. Studies on various groups, including children, sailors, and pregnant women, have shown that people naturally gravitate towards foods containing compounds necessary for preventing diseases like rickets and scurvy. 
      
     The human body craves essential nutrients. In the past, nutrients and flavor were closely intertwined. However, modern food processing has detached flavor from its nutritional value. Artificial flavorings, concocted in laboratories to satisfy emotional cravings, contribute to cognitive and emotional deception. These synthetic flavors disrupt the natural connection between flavors and nutrients, leading to confusion about the nutritional content of foods. 
      
     Despite the prevalence of synthetic flavorings, it is still possible to prepare delicious meals using natural ingredients. Contemporary growers can produce foods bred for both flavor and yield, such as poultry from the Buckeye Recovery Project and tomatoes from Garden Gem varieties. With increased demand and careful cultivation, these nutrient-rich and flavorful foods can become accessible to all consumers.

    Make Dating Your Health: The Blood, The Cells, The Oxygen - the essence of this message would resonate deeply. The importance of dating your health transcends mere words or scientific facts; it's about recognizing that oxygen is not just a biological necessity but a vital partner in our lives. Just as in any romantic relationship, nurturing and valuing this connection is essential for a vibrant, fulfilling life. Oxygen is the unseen thread that ties together every aspect of life. The relationships we cherish, the homes we build, and even the paper we use to make payments—all of these are sustained by oxygen. You might say that just as people go to great lengths to protect their loved ones or secure their homes, they must also fight to maintain their relationship with oxygen. Without it, none of the other elements of life could exist. Oxygen is more than just a biological necessity; it is the caregiver of our existence. In turn, we must become caregivers of our health, nurturing our bond with oxygen as we would any other vital relationship.
