COUNTRY GOODNESS RECIPES OF TENNESSEE CELEBRITIES

The Tennessee cookbooks just

arrived from the publisher!

What does Elvis, Miley Cyrus, Trace Adkins, author Sam Pickering, and Pres Andrew Jackson have in common? They all have a favorite recipe in the Tennessee Cookbook:

“Country Goodness Recipes of Tennessee Celebrities."

The cookbook has over 300 recipes from local and national personalities, highly visible Tennessee businesses, artist, writers, athletes, sportsmen, actors, musicians, bed and breakfasts, restaurants, notable events and places. In addition, there are brief notes with each recipe on the contributor.

My goal is to use the cookbook as a fundraiser for non-profit and charitable organizations. Fifty percent of any copies sold will be given to charities or non-profit organizations that wish to use it as a fundraiser. The other fifty percent is to cover my cost. I feel God has blessed me and this is a way I can give back to the community.

In addition to being interesting to read and a charitable fundraiser, the cookbook is also a great way to publicize and promote Tennessee tourism, business, industry, historic sites, and most of all the wonderful people who were born, lived, or have ties to Tennessee.

WORLD PREMIERE “ SPY ”

WORLD PREMIERE “ SPY ”
WITH BEN CURTIS

The new cookbook I am working on is well under way. “Favorite Recipes of Tennessee Celebrities” has over 100 recipes including Flatt and Scruggs (sent by family members), George S. Curtis (He wrote music score for Austin Powers Movie), Tom T. Hall, Hannah Montana and her father.

I am having so much fun doing this. It has been an opportunity to meet and exchange e-mails with so many wonderful people. Sometimes there are some very nice surprises. I have been exchanging e-mails with Ben Curtis (The Dell Kid), who is from Chattanooga.

He is starring with Vincent Pastore and Frank Vincent (Both from Sopranos) in the new movie Spy. Ben was so gracious to offer us tickets to the New York Premiere. We would love to go, however New York is a long way from Kentucky. I am still very appreciative of the offer.

Now to all the wonderful people who have contributed recipes, purchased a cookbook to help with a numerous fundraisers, and those who just happen to stop by to read this blog, I wish you a very blessed Christmas and New Year. Thank you for all your help and God’s blessings.
