Asparagus Rolls

I love asparagus. The canned ones are usually kinda mushy, but in this recipe they probably work out well. I am definitely going to give this recipe a try. It is from ‘The Unofficial Texas Wine Society Cookbook’ published in 1992. The person contributing the recipe is Lillie Havlak and they suggest pairing it withContinue reading “Asparagus Rolls”

Vidalia Onion Pie

I love Vidalia onions. I really love them thinly sliced and caramelized on a sandwich or in onion soup. If you have never had one, they are mild and sweet. I have never had this recipe, but will be trying it next Vidalia Onion season. This recipe is from the Kitchen Creations Ardsley Park BaptistContinue reading “Vidalia Onion Pie”

Pistachio Salad

Almost any Savannah gathering in the summer will have this. It is a family favorite and super easy to make. It is also cold and refreshing on a hot summer day. We don’t use the fruit cocktail in ours – we just do pineapple, but I bet it would be good. This recipe is fromContinue reading “Pistachio Salad”

Ice Box Banana Pudding

With everything going on with Covid-19 and things being shut down, you would think that everyone would have more time. It feels the opposite actually for us and we haven’t been cooking as many interesting things because of limiting trips to the store and not gathering as much. One of our favorite things to haveContinue reading “Ice Box Banana Pudding”

Green beans sour cream and swiss cheese?

Call me curious. I can’t even wrap my head around this one. I think maybe it is a casserole? I have never had anything like this, even more shocked to find it in a Savannah cookbook (my home town). I am not sure what to think about this one, so of course I have toContinue reading “Green beans sour cream and swiss cheese?”

Chop Suey Casserole

So, did I mention that my Grandma, Josephine Carter, was the queen of casseroles? 🙂 She could make a casserole out of anything. She loved them and pretty much all of our big family meals had them. Even though she is no longer with us we still make her squash casserole every big gathering. IContinue reading “Chop Suey Casserole”
