Oatmeal Scotchies

German Apple Pie

Porcupine Balls (Rice Meatballs)

Meatballs with rice on top of tomato-based sauce.

Kay’s Tombstone Fudge Recipe

This is a “famous” recipe for fudge that has a little story behind it. Everyone always wanted Kay’s recipe, so, in the end, it went on her gravestone.

Shepherd’s Pie

This is not a family traditional recipe, but it IS one of my personal favorites. We use Dylan’s mashed potatoes for the topping, but do add the parmesan cheese for that.

Sweet Potato Casserole

This casserole is really good, but I still prefer our traditional, stove-top version that has butter and brown sugar.

Grits Soufflé

This souffle uses grits, garlic cheese roll (I don’t actually know what that is!), egg, and butter/margarine.

Shrimp Creole

I actually didn’t really like this recipe when I was a kid. My mother made it on occasion. I haven’t tried making it as an adult, but think that I would actually like it at this point.
