Ozark Recipes and Remedies

In the Ozarks the kitchen is the heart of the home and it is often the women who make the heart beat.

Women bake bread, cook meals, clean the dishes and the kitchen daily, often dozens of times per day, and family and friends enjoy the cooking.  That is her reward.  If everyone eats a lot, she is usually happy.  I know that's how I feel.

The good food smells is what makes the kitchen is a good place to visit. She gets respect however subtle it is from all who eat what she cooks.  Someone is always at hand to assist in some way.  Not a bad life really.
