FARMHOUSE FARE

From soups and stews to cobblers and cookies, what you told us confirmed what we already knew about farming families: They are a practical and resourceful lot. The recipes that have become beloved classics are products of the seasons, the land and necessity. They are foods that fuel the body, buoy the spirit, and maintain a delicious connection to generations past and to homelands far away. Keto, vegan, gluten-free these are not, but are they ever good!
