Publisher's Description
Becky Johnson and her daughter Rachel Randolph come from a long line of laughter. The female side of her family tree is dotted with funny storytellers, prolific authors, hospitable home cooks, and champion chatters. In We Love, We Laugh, We Cook, Becky—a butter and bacon loving mama—and Rachel—a vegan bean eating daughter—share stories of their crazy, wonderful, and sometimes challenging lives as Rachel becomes a mother herself. Becky is messy; Rachel craves order. Becky forgets what month it is; Rachel is an organizational genius. (At least before baby arrives.) Sprinkled throughout are the lip-smacking, nourishing recipes they love to make and share. From food for a family reunion of thirty, to lunch for a party of one in a high chair, to a hot meal for a sick friend, the authors demonstrate grace, acceptance, and love to others through the bonding gifts of humor, attentive listening, and cooking … whether diners prefer beef or tofu in their stew.

“As anyone who watches Dr. Phil can attest, relations between mothers and daughters may generate accusations and acrimony. So it’s refreshing to find two women who have found as much joy in each other’s company as this pair apparently has. Their happiness becomes most obvious in their shared love of food and cooking. Rachel put her mother Becky’s affection to the test when she embraced veganism, but they soon learned how to turn this into a positive learning experience. Their Christian faith shepherds them through such life crises as failed marriage. The pair’s cooking style sometimes relies on boxed cake mixes and other prepared foods, but they do not lack real appreciation for fresh ingredients. Recipes accompany each chapter and offer vegetarian and vegan alternatives as appropriate.”
