Kim Lacey Schock, the self-titled Queen of Foo-Foo, food & craft blogger and co-founder of KimLaceySchock.com debuts her first cookbook, Back Roads Country Living, where childhood memories of country living come to life on a food journey through the seasons. Set in a cabin in the back roads of Central Virginia at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Kim is candid about her faith as she delivers on down home comfort dishes. As an added surprise, Kim gives you a small glimpse into her love of home décor and crafts. The cookbook opens to a seasonal hodgepodge where spring invites Oven Baked BBQ Ribs that are lip-smacking good and Grilled Corn cooked right in its husks and drizzled with Lime Butter. In late spring, veggies are picked at their tender ripeness for Fresh Plucked Kabobs that are both healthy and tasty. The traditional Buttermilk Pancakes is topped with a delicious Banana Foster’s Sauce that can be the topping to just about anything! You’ll have to try the Hoedown Hashbrowns, they are a sure-fire crowd-pleaser. Summer comes languidly and brings with it an abundance of fresh, ripe fruits and vegetables. You are gonna love the Veggie Stuffed Peppers and how easy it is to make your own Strawberry Jam or One Jar Orange Marmalade. Summer picnics and get-togethers will be delicious with Kim’s Favorite Potato Salad and her Mama’s Coleslaw recipes. And you can’t forget about the Blackberry Lemonade on a hot summer’s day.
