With 75 chickens, 25 ducks, 5 guinea hens, and a 1/2-acre garden on her Minnesota homestead, Amanda Rettke and her family have dedicated themselves to nurturing the land and feeding all those who step foot upon it with love. After pleasing many sweet teeth with recipes from her popular I Am Baker blog, Amanda opens up more of her kitchen to share how her family eats on a daily basis. All of her 135 recipes are accessible regardless of how close to the land you live, with a combination of ingredients you can grow at home (but don't have to) and store-bought staples. She’ll make you feel right at home with practical, easy methods and real ingredients that give you incredible flavor. Amanda has you covered with recipes for all types of meals, with chapters for breakfast, casseroles, soups, appetizers, ground beef, chicken, pork, vegetables, salads, bars, desserts, and cookies. She even has an entire chapter dedicated to zucchini recipes, as every Midwesterner with a garden has been subjected to Zucchini-pocalypse—that moment when you can't even give away the bounteous green deluge.
