Grandma has wonderful recipes all handwritten that I would love scan and put pictures of in this cookbook. I learned a lot by watching them and now enjoy cooking and baking for my family. I'd love to compile my favorite recipes in a book. This is a fun treat we love to eat instead of caramel popcorn. We call it caramel worms for fun.<br /><br />Caramel Worms<br />2 c brown sugar<br />1 c butter<br />1/2 c Karo Syrup<br />1 Tbsp water<br />1 pinch baking soda<br />1 tsp vanilla<br />3/4 large bag corn puffs<br />Put the first four ingredients in a pot and bring to a boil for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the pinch of soda and vanilla. Pour caramel over a large bowl of corn puffs and stir to evenly coat. Enjoy!Chelseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10112415197625255186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4016930062037879168.post-69245320766633226992010-11-22T18:40:00.097-07:002010-11-22T18:40:00.097-07:00Hi Sue -

When my kitchen starts having the smells of Thanksgiving, I always think of my Mom. She would get up at 3 AM every Thanksgiving morning and cook us the most delicious meal. We never had much money, but oh what love and memories we had in our family! One of our favorite recipes is Mom's cornbread dressing. So here it is -<br /> <br />Abigail's Cornbread Dressing<br /> <br />4 boxes cornbread mix - crumble (I use a bag of Marie Callendar's cornbread mix and make a 9 X 12 pan)<br /> <br />Saute 8-10 celery stalks and a package of green onions (chopped) in 2 sticks of butter<br /> <br />10 pieces of dried out bread - crumbled<br /> <br />Add bread crumbs to crumbled cornbread (by hand)<br /> <br />Add butter and sauted vegetables<br /> <br />Add chicken pieces (or a can of chunky white chicken) - mix well<br /> <br />Add broth (from turkey or 2 cans of broth) - then add water until very moist - but not runny<br /> <br />Add 4 eggs and mix well<br /> <br />1/8 t sage<br /> <br />1/2 t cloves<br /> <br />Cover and cook at 350 degrees for 2 hours - uncover and brown for 30 minutes<br /> <br /> <br />Hope you all have a blessed and wonderful Thanksgiving.<br /> <br />KarinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4016930062037879168.post-69631635919176688602010-11-22T09:53:46.194-07:002010-11-22T09:53:46.194-07:00Sue.

At least her daughter can work on it as the days as care-giving give way to remembering. Thank you again. Here is my family recipe. MULLIGAN STEW. Mike's grandma lived in a railroad car in Wyoming and fed the sheepherders who worked for her husband. This was an old standby recipe for her and enjoyed by at least two more generations. Although it was tweaked and modernized by my mother-in-law to make it the easiest recipe ever.<br /><br />1 1 lb. thick cut round steak diced and browned so well that it almost looks too brown on the bottom of the pan. Do the same to<br /><br />1 lb. thick cut ham steak, diced. All in same pan so that you get some really rich broth. Add i chopped onion, until tender. Then dump in the following cans of vegetables.<br /><br />2 cans petite peas, with juice<br />2 cans white beans, with juice<br />2 cans green beans, with juice<br />2 cans tomatoes, with juice<br /><br />Simmer until the flavors are all mixed.

My mom would have an open house on New Years Day every year and invite all the neighbors and relatives. We prepared for weeks and we always had lots and lots of people who loved to come and felt bad when she couldn't do it any more. This is one of my favorite candy recipes of hers.<br /><br />Penoche<br />1 c brown sugar <br />3 ½ c white sugar<br />2 ¼ c cream<br />2 Tbsp butter <br />1 tsp vanilla<br />½ tsp salt<br />1 c pecans or walnuts, chopped(opt)<br /><br />Mix sugars, cream & salt together in large pan. Stir until boiling. Put lid on for 30-45 seconds and rinse spoon. Cook on medium high heat, stirring constantly, to soft ball or 228° F. Add butter and vanilla. Pour on marble. When cool to touch, knead with putty knife until it turns creamy. Add nuts if desired. Form into log and cut into slices or mold and dip in chocolate.Shanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16503141171545457868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4016930062037879168.post-49790385128478005972010-11-20T09:18:05.648-07:002010-11-20T09:18:05.648-07:00When I took this recipe to a "family gatherin...When I took this recipe to a "family gathering", my father-in-law ate 7 of the 15 pieces.
