Arkansas Cooks

I am so glad you're here! Inside you'll find information about episodes of Arkansas Cooks and great recipes from listeners, my family and even some of the cooks featured on Arkansas Cooks over the years on FM 89 KUAR. We also plan to add an archive of Arkansas Cooks episodes in the near future, so stay tuned!

Speaking of recipes, I invite you to find a recipe, try it out for your family and friends, and then come back and rate it to let me and everyone else know what you thought of the recipe. You can even add a comment about the recipe if you have more to say than stars can show! Have a recipe you'd like to share with other Arkansas Cooks fans? Click Submit a Recipe up at the top to send us your favorite recipe.

I also want to make sure you know about the Twedt Family Cookbook! It's a collection of favorite family recipes my family has gathered and handed down through the generations, and when we put them all together, we knew we had a special cookbook that we had to make available to you. You can buy the Twedt Family Cookbook right here on the Arkansas Cooks website. Pay securely, and we'll ship it to you ASAP!

Thanks again for stopping by ArkansasCooks.com!

Happy Birthday KUAR!

We are doing our first LIVE Arkansas Cooks, Saturday February 23rd from noon until 1:00. KUAR turns 40 this year and the goal is to host this special show in order to raise funds for new control boards.  It will last one hour and we will be having some of the KUAR staff as guest answering many of their cooking questions and sharing their favorite food. Neal Moore will be with us searving as friend and co host as well as others just dropping in for fun. You too can come to the station and watch as we dish about all things Arkansas Cooks.  Join us February 23rd – Noon to One – KUAR, 89.1.

One of my favorite restaurants ever! One of the only food dreams I ever have is about the Pancake Shop. I dream about their Banana Pancakes and their amazing homemade sausage. Keeley DeSalvo and her husband Steve have built on the place her mother and father bought back in 1966. It is a restaurant like the friendly family owned places we all grew up with long ago. This one has not changed and their food is as consistant as any I have ever had.

This is a great way to start eating with intention. We so often can’t even remember what we eat from meal to meal. This books calls us to wake up and think about what we put in our bodies and how it effects our life in many ways. Great wholesome, easy and tasty food that can transform the way you feel. This one is a must have.

I am about to have a great group of ladies to cook some recipes from the Dharma Feast Cookbook written by Theresa Rogers and Tika Altemoller. The book is very dynamic and has some amazing recipes for really fresh and healthy cookiing. Along with recipes are great descriptions of different practices of eating. I have never seen such a thorough description of how we can eat and how it impacts our health. Available on Amazon and at Wordsworth.
