The ladies of Saint Peter and Paul Catholic Church (known locally as Clear Creek) and Saint Elizabeth Catholic Church banded together in 1982 to pass down the most beloved recipes from the best of farm housewife kitchens in the Keota / Harper, Iowa area. Over 1000 recipes from breakfast to midnight snacking are offered in this classic Catholic Church fundraising cookbook.
Long before microwaves, air fryers, and convenience foods became part of everyday life, families gathered around the kitchen table to enjoy meals made from scratch with simple ingredients and a whole lot of love. This old-fashioned cookbook celebrates that tradition, bringing together time-tested recipes that have filled homes with the comforting aromas of fresh-baked bread, slow-cooked roasts, homemade pies, and hearty family suppers for decades.
Inside these pages, you'll discover family favorites that have stood the test of time because they simply work. These are the treasured dishes that grandparents taught their children, who in turn shared them with the next generation. Every recipe reflects an era when cooking was about fresh from the garden, hand made with care, and creating memories around the dinner table. Whether you're hoping to recreate childhood flavors or introduce classic home cooking to a new generation, this collection offers a warm reminder that the very best meals don't come from the latest kitchen gadgets-they come from recipes made with tradition, love, and a touch of nostalgia.
St Elizabeth is no longer standing, and Sts Peter and Paul, scheduled by the Catholic Hierarchy to be demolished, was saved by a group of the local German descendants, who have painstakingly restored it to its original splendor. Since the original artwork gracing the book's divisions were lost in time, this reprint features some of the architectural elements the group fought to preserve and information regarding the pioneer patrons who left their homeland and came to America searching for religious freedom and a better way of life for their families.
