Quick & Simple, a weekly women's service magazine published by Hearst Magazines, has partnered with Roush Racing to feature recipes from some of NASCAR's favorite drivers. Greg Biffle, driver of the No. 16 National Guard Ford Fusion, Danny O'Quinn Jr., Erik Darnell and Michel Jourdain Jr., will all be featured in the November 14 issue of the weekly publication-available on newsstands November 7. All four drivers have offered up some of their favorite quick and simple recipes for readers to enjoy.
Biffle admits he's not the cook in the house, but like many Quick & Simple readers, he can handle easy recipes. "My girlfriend is actually the one who likes to cook but I help out when I can." Biffle continues, "She usually lets me help with the fruit pizza because it's a pretty easy recipe and I can't really mess it up."
"We had a great time working with Roush Racing on this story," said Susan Toepfer, Quick & Simple's editor-in-chief. "We hope the drivers' quick and delicious recipes will inspire our readers to race to their own kitchens."
O'Quinn, driver of the No. 50 World Financial Group Ford Fusion, and Darnell, driver of the No. 99 Woolrich F-150, submitted their fast dip recipes while Jourdain went with everyone's favorite standby, guacamole.
"I love guacamole," said Jourdain, driver of the No. 50 Ford F-150. "I eat it on everything and I'm happy to share my recipe with all the Quick & Simple readers. I think it's good that the magazine is coming out just in time for all our fans to get ready for Ford Championship weekend. I hope everyone makes my guacamole. It's fantastic!"
The upcoming issue of Quick & Simple will hit newsstands on November 7, 2006. The weekly publication is available on newsstands only. Recipes from other Roush Racing drivers will be available at www.quickandsimple.com for fans to enjoy as well.
