Country Cook\u2019s Guide to: Easy Dinners.\u201d<\/a> Brandie first created The Country Cook in 2010 as a hobby to get her mind off daily stresses and to share with her co-workers the recipes for all the food Brandie brought in to work. Over the years, it has grown into one of the most popular cooking sites in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brandie grew up in a military family and then married a fella in the Navy. She has lived all over the country and even lived in England for a few years (picking up new recipes along the way!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brandie\u2019s recipes focus on being easy and accessible. Brandie\u2019s Mom worked full-time outside the home and was often raising her and her brother alone while her Dad was deployed and Brandie herself is a working Mom. She understands the demands put on parents today to not only work to provide for their family and be active and participating parents but to also get a meal on the table that is simple, tastes great, has accessible ingredients and can satisfy picky eaters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>FAVORITE RECIPE:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecountrycook.net\/best-banana-pudding\/\">The Best Banana Pudding<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-about-the-country-cook\">ABOUT THE COUNTRY COOK<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Country Cook is all about helping you cook easy and delicious meals the whole family will love.
