A Taste of Country!

Country Woman magazine is a taste of country. It has in it everything from recipes, crafts, decorating ideas and plain ol' good reading. It has a wide variety of topics in each issue. It is easy, pleasant reading, about good food, country people, and their country crafts. Just to give you a better idea I will attempt to outline one issue for you. For starters I will list and write a brief paragraph about each section in this particular issue.

Welcome to My Country Kitchen.

This section is about a reader's remodeled kitchen. It is an article about a woman who changed her kitchen into a glorious Country kitchen. It goes through details of how they got started and how some of the construction went, giving great decorating ideas. It shows beautiful color pictures shots of this reader's kitchen, from several different angles to capture all its splendar.

Editor in the Country.

This section has different Editor's that travel to a subscriber's home's featuring their garden or crop. This one in particular is where an Editor went to a banana orchard in Florida. They went through details of how to grow bananas successfully, helpful tips, and neat descriptions on duties involved in growing banana trees. Along with great colorful pictures going right along with the Editor's experience.

Grandma's Brag Page.

This page is so cute. It is where Grandma's can send in pictures of their Grandchildren doing really cute things. Like there is one little guy standing next to a snowman he just made, with help i am sure, but the snowman has a binky (pacifier) in it's mouth. Then there is a picture of two kids probably 8 and 9 year olds, who made a tunnel out of snow. There are a couple more of cute babies in the snow or just posing for the camera. They all are adorable.

Quilter's Corner.

This is a section where reader's or subscriber's send in quilt patterns, and they display them. Complete with step by step instructions and wonderful pictures and diagrams. They really have some beautiful work posted there. They are so detailed they make it sound so easy.

Craft Section.

Craft Section is where they put craft ideas, crochet pattern for sweaters ...etc. It is neat to go through and get some idea on a craft you may want to do. They have very good instructions, pictures, and even patterns (actual sizes). Giving you all the information you would need to create these nifty crafts.

Country Home Cooking.

They have mouth watering recipes, one-pan wonders, skillet supers to zesty fries. Here are a few from this issue: Pork Chops Over Rice, Chicken Sausage Skillet, Stir-Fried Steak and Veggies, Bavarian Bratwurst Supper, Shrimp Stir-Fry, Creamy Mushroom Chicken, Skillet Enchiladas, and Colorful Vegetables Saute. Then I counted 32 more recipes after that. They even have some of their recipes on pages where you could cut them out on the dotted line then you would have index size recipes cards with recipes already on them.

Country Decorating.

Here are some more country decorating ideas for decorating and designing your home. This one particular article is about a couple who went all out decorating in a Ranch Home style. They have everything from cowboy boot wallpaper to a rocking horse in their bedroom. To the tops cut off of tons of cowboy boots in all different colors going around the frame of
their door way. They have a lot of great pictures and details.

Frosty Snowman Contest.

Here is where a bunch of people had made the biggest and best snowman they could, and boy did they ever! We are talking 24 foot snowmen! The tallest was 24 foot. Then a 21 foot 5 inches, and two that were 16 foot, and a Flaky Baker one, complete with wig made of yarn, apron, and a cookie sheet of cookies. Then there is one of a family of 5 snowmen, including daddy snowman, mommy snowman, and 3 kid snowmen. They all are great. Amazing too! I can barely make a 3 or 4 foot snowman. Snowmen are not the only things you can make out of snow, cause they have pictures of a bunny made out of snow, a dog shape, and a pig, even a horse made out of snow.

Last but not least.

Then they have a Travel section, a Looking Back/ I remember when section, a Funnies section, a Country Gardening section, and a I'll Never Forget section in the back of the magazine. Then they even have a Coming Up Next section where they briefly describe what is going to be in the next issue.

Need less to say this magazine is wonderful, and has a great variety of Country living articles. This is the only way I knew how to really share this magazine with you, so that you could really get a taste of what is in it. And now you know why I said that it is a taste of Country.
