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 />
