The Imus Ranch is a 4,000 acre working cattle ranch nestled beneath a majestic mesa in the rolling hills of New Mexico. At different times throughout the year, the Imus Ranch hosts groups of children suffering from cancer or blood disorders, or who have lost brothers or sisters to SIDS. At the Imus Ranch, the kids work as ranch hands, rounding up Texas Longhorn cattle, herding and feeding sheep, and learning to ride horses and rope calves. Not only do these children enjoy adventure at the ranch, but they learn from the Imuses that nutritious foods are fundamental to a happy, healthy life.
Lavishly illustrated and beautifully designed, this cookbook presents glorious full-color photographs of the ranch, the kids, and the food. The book includes more than 100 recipes for everything from simple soups and salads like Cowboy Chowder; Creamy Broccoli and Cheddar Cheese Soup; and Avocado, Raspberry, and Mango Salad, to main dishes and desserts the whole family can enjoy, such as I-Man Chimichangas, Thai Vegetable Stir Fry, All-out Brownies, and Raspberry-Apple Strudel. In addition to the delicious recipes, the book shows readers how important and how easy it is to incorporate healthier living into their everyday lives.
