THE WOODLANDS, Texas - On August 23 and 24, the 12th Annual Fall Home & Garden Show The Woodlands is coming once again to the master-planned community, complete with all of the resources, services and products to turn a house into a dream home. From interior design, kitchens, contractors, flooring, outdoor living products and much more, there is a category for everyone at this year’s show. Turn an idea into a reality with a “one-stop” shop destination for the newest and finest products, resources and companies from North Houston and The Woodlands. A unique part of the two-day event that will have mouths watering is the outdoor cooking show. Cheryl Najafi, bestselling author and lifestyle/entertaining expert will be gracing the stage to demonstrate and share some of her recipes from her brand new cookbook, Mother Daughter Dishes.

Author of 'Mother Daughter Dishes,' Najafi will feature some of the classic recipes at the Fall Home & Garden Show The Woodlands, Aug 23-24


Nationally known for her family-friendly recipes, tips and crafts, Najafi is a wife, mother of three, and a native of Missouri who has a passion for sharing her ideas with other busy moms and dads.

“What keeps me going everyday is just knowing that I have empowered someone with a really good idea,” said Najafi. “Sometimes women find cooking and crafting as a chore and I wanted to take the work out of it and make it as a easy as possible.”

In 2011, Najafi started her own online lifestyle media company, CherylStyle. The website is full of useful information such as tips and crafting ideas, how to cook dishes the whole family will love, how to host parties for any occasion, and much more. As her fan base continued to grow, Najafi would always read the comments and questions on her site. One thing she noticed was that many viewers wanted to know simple, everyday recipes that are dependable. Najafi immediately thought of her mom’s recipes, and decided to put them all into one cookbook.

“It was really neat putting the recipes down on paper,” said Najafi. “I think that is something every generation should do, because they get lost if you don’t capture them. I wanted to influence other women to capture other stories and recipes and pass those on.”

Najafi’s cookbook, Mother Daughter Dishes, features her mom’s classics with a modern twist. While reading the original recipes, Najafi noticed that many of the ingredients were common in the 70’s. Now with access to fresh produce year round and healthier options that lower sodium intake, the updated, classic recipes are still the same, delicious home-cooked meals everyone craves with fresh alternatives. From comfort food like buttermilk biscuits, to modernized dishes such as meatloaf sliders, “Mother Daughter Dishes” is filled with over 70 dependable recipes. When asked if Najafi had a personal favorite, there was no hesitation.

“Macaroni and cheese served with my mom’s pot roast,” she said.

Najafi will be demonstrating some of her recipes from Mother Daughter Dishes at the Fall Home and Garden Show The Woodlands. Attendees can find her at the outdoor cooking stage on Saturday, August 23, at 10:30a.m., noon and 3p.m., or on Sunday, August 24, at 11:30a.m., 1p.m. and 2:30p.m. Najafi will also be giving tips on entertaining in warmer weather and will be taking a couple of her recipes and adapting them for outdoor cooking and grilling. Book signing opportunities will also be available.
