My Life is Grape Recipes by Shellie Croft

Last updated on August 9th, 2024 at 01:43 pm

Shellie Croft drinking her Oregon wine

I’m living my version of the American dream, surrounded by the beauty and tranquility of the Oregon countryside. Here, each day is filled with the joy of cooking and baking, where I find fulfillment in the simple, nourishing rituals that make life sweet. Whether it’s the aroma of freshly baked bread wafting through the kitchen or the satisfaction of stirring a pot of homemade jam, these moments are the heartbeat of my days.

Today, I am sharing three of my favorite recipes. Each recipe reflects the memories I’ve gathered, the traditions I’ve cherished, and the flavors that bring comfort and happiness to my family and friends.

As I continue living my dream, I plan to compile all my recipes into a beautiful recipe book that captures the essence of living the American dream in the peaceful countryside of Oregon. This collection will be more than just a cookbook; it will celebrate the love, perseverance, and creativity that have shaped my life.

In my book, I want to share recipes and the stories of love, compassion, and the simple joys that make this life so special. Every dish tells a story, every meal a connection, and it’s my hope that by sharing these with you, I can inspire you to pursue your dreams with the same passion and heart.

Thank you for always caring enough to read my stories and witness my countryside life. Your support means the world, and I can’t wait to share the flavors and tales with you in an upcoming book.
