description: Cynthia Briggs has an easy-going writing style that touches the soul as she relates humorous misadventures of country living while dishing-up plentiful home-cooked dinners. This is two books in one with a tale about growing up in the good old days with a corresponding, family-favorite recipe to follow. PORK CHOPS &amp; APPLESAUCE is a treasure chest of remembrances. Her thread of humor about raising children on a Pacific Northwest farm, coupled with the comfortable easiness of those simpler times, reaches out to the heart of the reader. At signings, Cynthia often signs the book, Enjoy the journey...!  This promises the reader a relaxing, perhaps even a sentimental journey, back to carefree summer days and snow-covered winter nights. Fighting the Battle of the Bulge (Chicken Enchilada Casserole), The Apple Dumpling Gang Rides Again (Apple Dumplings), Tales of the Great Pecan Hunter (Pecan Pie), The Cookie Monster (cookie recipes), Going Whole Hog (Spare Ribs), Grandkids Keep Us Young (kid friendly recipes) and Spinach Instincts (Spinach Salad) are just a few story titles and recipes you'll find in this collection of recipes and reflections. With its amusing, heartfelt tales of family living in the country, it's clear the cookbook was harvested from the heart. Join Cynthia in the kitchen, and then gather around the dinner table where all culinary hearts beat as one. Create bonds with family, friends and acquaintances that will stay with you forever.
