Ruth Carter is delighted to share<br />
her delicious baked goods with<br />
friends and family.<br />
Ruth<br />
My mother was a good<br />
Midwestern cook and a very good<br />
baker,” says Ruth Carter, who was<br />
raised in Cincinnati, Ohio and now<br />
lives in Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina<br />
with her husband John. “Besides<br />
my mother’s good baking I also<br />
remember Thanksgiving, Christmas<br />
and Easter dinners which alternated<br />
between my mother and two aunts.<br />
Those dinners are good food and<br />
family memories—with cousins,<br />
grandparents and varying delicious<br />
holiday dishes.<br />
“I started on the Black Walnut<br />
Chocolate Chip Cookies because<br />
John and I both love black walnuts<br />
and he is crazy about anything<br />
chocolate. I looked in my cookbooks<br />
and on the Web but nothing seemed<br />
to fit the bill. I like to hold down the<br />
sugar in recipes and also <strong>of</strong>ten add<br />
some whole wheat and/or almond<br />
flour to boost nutrition.<br />
“The Pecan Crisps (recipe on page<br />
52) have been in my family <strong>for</strong> over<br />
60 years and are little changed from<br />
my mother’s. I have always shared<br />
cookies with neighbors, friends and<br />
co-workers and these seem to be the<br />
most popular!”<br />
Ruth also sent a delicious pork<br />
chop recipe. Visit www.penzeys.com<br />
