Laundry to Love: Everything I Know about Life

By Sandy Tritt

When my oldest daughter was nearing high school graduation, I suffered a major panic attack. Had I taught her everything she needed to know? Had I shared our family recipes? Did she understand the ethics I wanted to pass along? I started making notes of things she needed to know. I organized notes by topic and started writing recipes as I cooked. The first section of the book is a collection of advice and hints including everything from telling the truth to traveling with kids to gift-giving--with forty other topics between, including a page explaining the "point system" I used when my girls were grade-school to junior-high-school age that got us out the door on time and kept them happily cooperative. The second section is a collection of 66 recipes we use on a daily basis. Many are embarrassingly fast and easy. Others are family recipes passed down through generations (with a few updates, of course. Who keeps lard in their pantry these days?). There are two recipes for beef roast. One is the Really Easy Roast that takes just a few minutes of morning prep and a slow-cooker. The other is the Really Tasty Roast that takes 45 minutes or so of prep work and 3-4 hours roasting time in the oven. I share my super-secret chocolate cake recipe that no one--not even my daughters--has seen (hint: one of the few ingredients is a boxed cake mix). I also share the passed down stuffing recipe that's been in the family for generations. Described as a marriage of Robert Fulghum and Martha Stewart, Laundry to Love gives practical hints, creative solutions, and unique outlooks on life--a handbook for young women and men as they step out on their own. Perfect as a graduation or wedding gift, this book is also excellent for anyone who enjoys a fresh perspective sprinkled with a little humor. Laundry to Love is the life instruction book you didn't get. Until now.
