  Recipe Project Status 1/2 DONE!  

When my Momma passed it was a very hard time for me. I was the one who found her at her house. it is a horrible thing to go through. I am not a cook, but i probably have baked more than anyone on this planet... As i worked at a bakery that made McDonalds buns :) We would put a half ton of dough through the machines in 18 minutes on the Big Mac buns.

Other than my creation of "Pizzonia" a cross between Lasagna and Pizza i am really not creative in the kitchen. My wife Carol is a wonderful cook and that keeps me out of the kitchen! The recipes were one of my first picks of momma's things after she passed. I had always said i was going to do this so i decided i had better get this on the net to share with my family, friends and the net. If you enjoy a recipe let us know at georgebc@gte.net if you use it please keep the names the same, maybe you would forward a favorite to me to add to the list! Please Enjoy. Momma, I miss you so much....

BOX ONE

Brownies

As a Teenager Momma's big huge pan of Brownies was always a hit. I remember her fine crushing Walnuts as a decoration on Top. I did not, nor still like a chunky Walnut. From Square Dancing to Sports Banquets Momma's Brownies were always a favorite. No, this was not a cigarette butt laying on it, just a yellow piece of tape.

Cheesecakes

In the mid-1970's there was a vender at the county fair who sold these with fruit toppings. Mom asked her once if she could have the recipe, the lady said for maybe ten-thousand dollars... Momma found this somewhere in a 1800 cook book. I have tried to make these and it just wasn't the same without momma's special touch!

Cookies

As a kid i hated coconut, i remember putting these in my mouth trying to keep the coconut from being digested. Now, I love coconut, I will have to give them another try 30 years later!

Dishes

In Momma's later years she had a stroke, losing her dominant side she still was able to cook, even one handed. This was her usual holiday dish. We also always had a broccoli, cauliflower and cheese dish that i have not come across in the recipe boxes that i inherited.

I am sure that when Tom, Cyndi, and Chuck see this we will all wonder if it was really momma's fudge attempt that she failed at year after year. This caused the fudge to be renamed "Spoon Fudge" :)

Hot Dogs

With the fair season in August... Meant in July momma would feed us a lot of Fatballs and Corn dogs, which were very popular, and expensive at the fair. Thus, as the fair was on we would have already had our fill and not beg for the top two treats at the fair!

Pickling - Canning - Freezing

This is a great recipe, I have done this once. Although i must also admit that when i run across momma's dill pickle recipe that i think diesel semis could run a few extra miles as mine tasted like keresene! :)

Another great childhood favorite!

Breads

I am not too sure what was on the back side of the recipe card, sorry. It just made me smile to see where Cyndi told momma that she loved her!

Treats

Cakes

That is it for the first of the two boxes of recipes. I only put on the net the handwritten, or personalized recipes, or there would be 20 times the amount listed. Thanks for Visiting!
