Karen's KitchenA Gen-X Cookbook
by Kyra A. Arnold
What started as a joke between siblings quickly turned into something much bigger. My brothers and I were convinced our Mom only knew how to make five meals and had been serving them on an endless loop for twenty years.
Back when budgets were tight, vegetables were optional, and "seasoning" was more of a suggestion, moms like mine somehow managed to put dinner on the table every night. The meals weren't five-star and some dishes raised far more questions than they answered, but we ate them anyway because if we didn’t, we’d starve.
Karen's Kitchen: A Gen-X Cookbook is packed with family “recipes”, family photos, hilarious stories, and enough nostalgia to take you straight back to your Mom’s kitchen table. You'll learn how to make “Shloop", serve an entire holiday dinner with canned goods, and even take a trip to the emergency room.
If these recipes don't make you hungry, the stories will. And if neither works, there's always cereal, with or without milk.
