Fiery Beef Vegetable Soup

This is one of my favorite soups. You can make it more spicy if you like. Calls for hamburger, mixed vegetables, celery, and potatoes.

Grits Soufflé

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

Eggplant Parmesan

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

Snickerdoodles

These are one of my all time favorite cookies. Wish there was a more diabetic-friendly version.

Hash Brown Casserole

This casserole uses cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, cheese, and hashbrowns.

Caramel Icing

Again, another recipe for caramel icing. This one is from my grandmother Gladah Childs. The other one is the one we usually use though.

Oven Fried Chicken

A less fatty version of fried chicken.

Sticky Icing (or 7 Minute Frosting)

One of the traditional icings that we have used in our family.

Blackberry Cake

Sugar Cookies

Sugar Cookies

Ah….the traditional frosted Christmas cookies. Of course this recipe doesn’t have to be used for just Christmas. How about Halloween? Valentine’s Day? The recipe source is listed as Penzeys, which, apparently, is a space company. I don’t know anything about the spice company, but this is one of the recipes that my grandmother used.

Strawberry Pretzel

Strawberry Pretzel

This recipe came from my grandmother, who got the recipe from Faye Cox. I don’t know who Faye Cox is, but this is a Jello dessert with several layers. It is probably actually called Strawberry Pretzel Salad. When I first read the title (when transferring recipes here) I thought it was a soft pretzel with strawberry flavor.
