Farmer’s Wife recipes

Amanda Cook Dobbs loves to cook. She actually dreams in recipes.  Her dishes at family gatherings, church potlucks, and special events are always a hit. Once she even prepared dinner, including homemade German chocolate pie, for a group of 150 hospital employees.

Her children have comfort favorites that are always requested for holidays including corn dogs, Special K loaf, enchiladas, cheesy potatoes with green peas, and tacos.

Husband Keith teases that Amanda makes a better Dobbs than a Cook.

“To borrow a line from Julia Childs, you can never have too much butter. And, I’d add a pinch of sugar, even to potato Salad, and a dash of salt, some fresh herbs, and lots of love.”
