What People Say About Comforting Soups, Colorful Salads.....

“I love big happy family reunions. With our family a highlight of those reunions is gathering in the kitchen to help Julie work her magic with her delicious recipes, which thanks to this book, you can now share with your family, too. We gather fresh vegetables from the garden, wash and chop as Julie artistically combines the fresh ingredients into scrumptious meals which we devour around a boisterous table filled with entertaining stories and merry laughter. And plus, you don’t have to worry about going back for seconds or beg your kids to eat the good stuff as each recipe is as healthy as it is flavorful.”
