A good portion of the included recipes became new family favorites. In 2006 and again in 2012, I helped publish two monthly planners full of recipes for the printing company where I worked. We noticed we kept hearing the same thing over and over: MAN, that s**t was GOOD! (There is a Redneck Food section for a reason.) What a perfect title for my first cookbook! I wanted the book to be a family friendly resource, so stuff was the final substitution for the original expression. For years, every Sunday night we would have a spread of food on the kitchen bar and plenty of visitors. Where did the name come from?

To friends and other family members (blood and extended): Cheers to the many enjoyable dinners and feasts we’ve shared and here’s to many more! To the kids: Blake, Blair, Dale and Andrew, I love all of you more than words can express and hope you will always remember that the family that eats together, stays together. Finally! It took almost forty years to find him, but he is just right! Last, but not least, along came the big Teddy Bear and love of my life who liked all food groups (and some I will not touch). The other significant other in my life ate most meats but only seemed to like corn on the cob and iceberg lettuce. The father of my children refused to eat chicken and was an extremely picky eater.
