reading {and cooking with} Wren Bay

It was my privilege recently to read
Wren Bay: the story of making a home,
written by one of my earliest 'blog friends',
Clarice of Storybook Woods.

Not only is Clarice a writer, she is also an amazing cook,
homemaker, crafter, and homeschooling mom of two lovely daughters.
Clarice has taken these interests and woven them into a romantic story
about a young newlywed named Wren Bay, whose husband
has been called to war.

"Wren is determined to use this time of separation from her husband, Devlin, to learn how to take this amazing, old stone house and turn it into a home. She will learn how to use all she has been gifted with and make the most of it."  StoryBook Woods May 24/2010

Best of all, each chapter contains a mouth-watering recipe.
Before I had even finished the book,
I was in the kitchen fixing the likes of
Caraway Stuffed Pork Chops
Roasted Apple Sausages & Rosemary Potatoes
Overnight Oat Cakes
and
Gateau Noix au Chocolat

My family loved them all!

And, I cannot wait to gather apples and make the
Oven Roasted Vanilla Apple Sauce.


The first chapter of Wren Bay: the making of a home
can be read here and the book can be ordered right here.

  2. Clarice was one of my earliest blog fiends too. She was an amazing help to me as I struggled to get my blog up and running. I had the opportunity to visit her and her girls two summers ago in their fairy tale cottage. It is very easy to see how Wren was born from Clarice and her environment and her talent.
