Dear ##firstname[Friend]##,
 Christmas in July? Why not? It’s never too early to start thinking about that magical time of year, so I’m offering a special look at our newest cookbook, Taste of Home Christmas.
Inside, you’ll find 215 fabulous recipes and numerous menus that are perfect for everything from casual Yuletide get-togethers to formal Christmas dinners. Best of all, most of the dishes have never been published before.
In addition, Taste of Home Christmas features 30 economical decorating ideas and 19 budget-friendly gifts you can craft yourself. With all of the carefree recipes, seasonal decor and gift ideas in this keepsake title, your holiday preparations are wrapped up in one big, beautiful package.
And since the book Mom’s Best Meals was so popular, I thought we’d take another look at it. Highlighting 59 complete menus with a total of 261 comforting recipes, this book delivers all of the hearty goodness you’d expect from Mom’s kitchen.
This edition of Cookbook Insider also includes free grilling recipes and a story from Food Editor Wendy Stenman. See how she saves money at farmers markets.
See you next month,
Catherine Cassidy
Editor in Chief

Tangy Spareribs
I'll never forget the wonderful aroma of these spare ribs when I was growing up. They have a real old-fashioned flavor. Who can resist when that mouth-watering homemade barbecue sauce clings to every morsel?

Meet Wendy Stenman
 As the Food Editor for Taste of Home Christmas and Country Woman magazine, Wendy Stenmen is a true foodie. Here, she explains how she keeps her costs down when hitting a farmers market.
With so much fresh produce available, this is the season for foodies. I love visiting farmers markets on weekends and recently tried a different one.
As I surveyed the stands for prices and quality, everything looked so good that I had to control myself! It’s too easy to buy more than I can ever use, and I’ve learned the hard way to bring a list. It usually keeps me out of trouble and helps me save money.
Happily, I spotted a farmer who I knew from another market…her veggies always look great. I bought some beautiful sugar snap peas—perfect for my planned stir-fry, with enough left to throw into a salad.
Some huge kohlrabi also caught my eye. This veggie’s only available in summer, but would these big ones be woody? She assured me that doesn’t happen with this particular variety, so I bought three and creamed one with fresh parsley for dinner that night. Turns out, she’d steered me right again! It’s always great to buy food from a trusted source.
The only other thing I bought was honey, and I left feeling pretty proud of myself for staying in control, at least until next weekend!
—Wendy Stenman
