Letters to the Editor

I want to thank you for the easy-to-make recipes with simple ingredients. It certainly makes for delicious, healthy meals after working all day! Also, I am enjoying "armchair travel" with the interesting places you feature right here in Iowa. During these uncertain times, it is nice to just sit back and be taken on a journey through the pages.

Thank you again for the very thoughtful input on each and every issue.

It is also fun to read about familiar places. I am from northeast Iowa, and I have been to Green's Sugar Bush for pancakes with freshly made syrup. There is nothing better than enjoying breakfast in the spring air with extended family. The only way to make that feature story better would be breakfast delivery!

We love the magazine and look forward to reading every issue! It is always so much fun to learn something new … for example, we didn't know the Butter Braid pastries our kids have sold for fundraisers over the years were made in northwest Iowa.

It was a joy to read "A Man with Heart" in your Winter 2020 issue. John Mortimer is a longtime friend, and we love all the great food at the Cattlemen's Beef Quarters! It is always part of our day at the Iowa State Fair. Thanks for spotlighting a wonderful man and a wonderful Iowa product … beef!

— Jeani Shepherd, Dallas Center
