Sweet & Sour Cabbage

This is a very old recipe that I had actually forgotten about. I remember having this at family reunions when I was a little girl. I was never a big fan then, but I may try it again and see what I think now. 4 pounds cabbage sliced finely. Par boil in salt water forContinue reading “Sweet & Sour Cabbage”

“One Bowl” Brownies

Brownies from the box are super easy, but these sound really easy too. My husband loves brownies, so we will have to try these to see if they are better than box brownies. Ingredients: 1 stick plus 1 Tbsp butter 7 Tbsp cocoa 2 eggs 1 c sugar 1 tsp vanilla 3/4 c self-rising flourContinue reading ““One Bowl” Brownies”

Soup for Two

This is a simple little soup recipe, but I thought it is interesting because it is a soup base for whatever vegetable you choose. Cook about 2 cups of corn and 1 medium onion until done. Put it in blender, barely chop. In a pan melt 2 tablespoons butter; add two tablespoons flour. Mix, addContinue reading “Soup for Two”

Peanut Butter Slaw

I had to share this one. It is so unusual and in all of my books I have never seen anything like it. Comment and let me know if you have. I am curious if it a common way to make slaw in areas other than Savannah, Ga where I live. Ingredients 1 medium shreddedContinue reading “Peanut Butter Slaw”

Cherry Cheese Pie

How have I never had this? Or heard of it? This sounds amazing. There are 3 versions of this recipe in this book. I am sharing the first one in hopes that it is the best one. This recipe is from a vintage cookbook named Bloomingdale Homemakers Club 1978-1979. With mixed emotions I have thisContinue reading “Cherry Cheese Pie”

Chocolate Buttermilk Cake

This is a recipe that was cut out and saved from 1976. It was in the Westside Weekly newspaper on April 1, 1976. I am not sure where that newspaper is from, possibly Philadelphia. I found the article in a Georgia cookbook. Chocolate Buttermilk Cake 1 2/3 c self rising flour 1 c sugar 1/2Continue reading “Chocolate Buttermilk Cake”

Punch

I love finding handwritten recipes in my older cookbooks and this is my second one today! It is a simple recipe, but sounded good so I thought I would share it. I don’t think I have had punch at a party in forever. My son’s parties, his and the one’s we go to, always haveContinue reading “Punch”

Cheese Straws

When looking through one of my older cookbooks I came upon a handwritten recipe for “Wright’s Cheese Straws”. I am not sure who Wright is and googling didn’t help. It was in a Pooler, Georgia cookbook from Holy Angels Episcopal Church. The cookbook itself is from 1984, but I am not sure the age ofContinue reading “Cheese Straws”

Easy Crock-Pot Baked Beans

Ingredients: 4 c dried navy beans, un cooked and rinsed 8 c water 1 c brown sugar 1/2 pound dice bacon 2 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 pepper 4 TbspContinue reading “Easy Crock-Pot Baked Beans”

Barbecue Cups

So when I saw this I couldn’t pass up sharing it. We loved these as kids. This version is barbecue beef, but we did this with so many combinations. One of our favorites was pizza sauce, cut up peperoni, and mozzarella. As kids we made these a lot ourselves because it was easy to makeContinue reading “Barbecue Cups”
