Mini Top Hat

This is a pattern for a crocheted mini top hat or pork pie hat. It uses front post crochet and is worked by measurement rather than a set number of rows.

Chicken Biscuit Pie

This is like a chicken pot pie only with biscuits.

Kunz’s Hot Brown

This recipe came from Kunz restaurant in Evansville, Indiana. It is an open-face sandwich with toasted bread, slices of turkey and sauce on top. Bacon is then laid on top.

Easy Butter Pecan Pound Cake

This was a version of a cake using the butter pecan cake mix that I was debating trying out. I ended up using a different recipe, so haven’t tried this one yet.

Cucumber Salad

Thinly sliced cucumbers, heavy cream, and lime juice.

Walnut Maple Cake

This cake recipe came from my grandmother, Thelma Beatty. It doesn’t say what frosting should be used for it, but am guessing that a brown-sugar frosting would probably be good.

Green Beans with Ham

I have never called these “southern” green beans, but apparently that is where the recipe came from. Also part of our traditional Thanksgiving meal. Our family does NOT make the green bean casserole with soup. Bleh!

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.

Apricot Gelatin Salad

This recipe is very similar to Bethany’s salad, but doesn’t have the shredded carrots and has mandarin oranges instead. This has apricot Jell-O, mandarin oranges, crushed pineapple, cream cheese, and “Dream Whip”. Is Dream Whip still something you can buy? I have never used it.

Eggplant Parmesan

For this recipe, you need eggplant, tomato sauce, parsley, onion, oregano, and mozzarella cheese.

Spring Vegetable Soup with Orzo

This soup has chicken broth, orzo, asparagus, peas, scallions, dill, lemon juice, and celery can be added.
