Cooking with Care or Dinnertime

Cooking with Care

Author: HospiceCare of the Piedmont

This cookbook is a collection of family recipes that have been graciously donated by the families of our patients, by dedicated volunteers, by staff and members of the Board of Directors. Many of the recipes have been lovingly handed down from generation to generation. Southern hospitality has always been a strong tradition. "If there were no other reason to live in the South, Southern cooking would be enough". From first courses to your favorite desserts, you will experience southern cooking at its finest within the covers of this book. Included with these outstanding recipes are quotes from some of the many families we have served and also some interesting history regarding the area served by HospiceCare of the Piedmont. We hope this cookbook will become an indispensable tool in your kitchen. HospiceCare of the Piedmont serves any person with a limited life expectancy regardless of their race, sex, religion, ethnic origin, age, physical or mental handicap, or ability to pay for services. The proceeds from the sale of Cooking with Care will provide resources needed to better meet the many needs of our patients and families, including expanding our children's grief support program and realizing our dream of a hospice house.

Dinnertime: Your 30 Minute Meals Organized

Author: Elizabeth Lundquist


Does the daily question 'What's for dinner' send you into a mind-freezing panic attack? Do you simply not have the time or energy to think of something interesting for dinner every night? Who has the time to plan and shop for a healthy, delicious meal every night, let alone cook it?

That problem is now solved for you. Inside are recipes for a month of dinners along with detailed shopping lists, time-saving food preparation lists, and instructions on how to safely and quickly slice and dice. Each week has been carefully laid out: all the ingredients needed for the recipes have been measured and accounted for, and the shopping lists and prep-list guidelines take all the guesswork out of meal planning.

This book looks beyond the idea of a freezer full of casseroles or leftovers that look exactly like last night's dinner. Instead, the focus is on getting the preparation done in advance so you can easily cook a great dinner quickly-- every night.
