Oh My Goodness! Slow down gang, I am never gonna get all these recipes copied!
Wow I guess people liked my idea, it is so nice to be loved.
I am of Italian descent so I tend to like made from scratch, rich, carb loaded foods. Though in saying that I love veggies and fruits and healthy stuff too. But I have a hard time adapting to low fat, low cal, low flavor stuff. So to compensate I use almost strictly olive oil and I don't remember the last time I deep fried anything.
hmmm...I take that back I made home made apple cider doughnuts last Fall, they were awesome. I think I am still wearing some of those on my hips!
Oh no, now I gotta go dig up that recipe. I am very easily triggered. As soon as I think of something or someone mentions something I like I have tunnel vision till I make it and eat it. I am a cookie nut especially ay Christmas, 3 years ago I made 23 different kinds. As we get closer to the holidays lets have a cookie recipe swap, huh?
Hey can anyone provide a recipe for a squash or pumpkin souflle type dish? I had some once down here in the Sotuh and it was fantastic, light fluffy yet rich. It was served as a veggie side but I thought if I could find a recipe and add a ginger snap crust it would make a great dessert.
Just thinkin out loud.
Keep the recipes comin.

Just ask, and ye shall receive!!! ♥♥♥
My dad gave me this recipe. (My kids don't know it's made with squash!!)
Ooopppsss! Dad just called back (I didn't have the recipe and called to get it from him just for you!) to say he left out a couple of things. I've just revised what I originally posted....
Squash Pie
Cook squash -- You need enough to make 2 cups of pulp. He boils it and then drains off the water.
Puree squash in blender or mini chopper, along with 1/2 cup of melted butter.
1 c evaporated milk
2 eggs
cinnamon and nutmeg -- your preference re: how strong you want; could just put one; he puts both
a little flour -- as a thickener
1 1/2 c sugar
1 sm pkg vanilla pudding mix
Mix all dry ingredients in one bowl and wet ones in another. Then put together in blender and mix well. You want it as smooth/(My dad says as"fine") as you can get it. Pour into prepared crust and bake in 350 degree oven. My dad says to cook until it rises all the way across the top of the pie. He says he sets the timer for 45 minutes and then watches it to remove it as soon as it rises all the way across. He says it starts rising on the sides but then will go across from there.

YUM! Got it.
Oh boy I can't wait till September.
I can't start making fall-y type recipes until September. Summer goes till Labor Day for me (I was a New Englander for too long I guess) so that is when I start baking stuff with cinnamon in it!

Lets see bacon.....
I fry up about 6 strips and remove from pan, drain off most of the bacon fat from pan but leave about 3-4 Tbsps. Then add chopped cabbage and chopped onion to fat, toss in about 2 Tbsp of water and salt and pepper to taste. Cover and let steam for about 15 minutes on med heat.
Uncover and let some of the liguid evaporate while continueing to cook about another 10 minutes. Crumble up bacon and put back in pan.
Serve.
I do this with diced potatos for breakfast too, served with eggs. This gives me my bacon fix without the temptation of eating 12 strips on the side. 
Another good one my Mom use to make.
Crisp up about 6-8 strips of bacon. set aside.
In medium pot, pour one can of tomato soup (Campbells condensed), add 1/2 can of water and 12 oz of chedder cheese, cubed or shredded. Heat on low till cheese is melted. Add bacon into sauce crumbled up and pepper. Pour over elbow macaroni.
Yum!

My Tennessee Granny taught me how to cook biscuits & since anyone around here cooks them from scratch now... I wrote down the recipe & tried to capture the "technique"! Here goes...
Home-made Biscuits
2 cups Self Rising Flour – Sifted
1 cup buttermilk (or milk)
About ½ cup shortening (Crisco)
Preheat oven at 400 degrees. Grease 13 x 9 pan well.
With flour already sifted in large bowl. Make a hole in the middle of the bowl of flour. Scoop shortening until it is half way up fingers – about ½ cup. Drop into center of bowl of flour. Slowly pour milk onto shortening while mashing the shortening between fingers in order to liquefy shortening while slowly mixing in small amount of flour. After all milk is in bowl, continue to mix in flour until mixture is semi-dry. Pinch small amount away and form into biscuit shaped mold with hands and drop into pan. Place floured back of fingers on top so biscuits will be smooth on top. Bake about 30 minutes or until brown.

I don't know about y'all with the Macs, but PC users can click & copy the text... no need to "copy" then you click File\ Print & choose "Selection" & your recipe is printed! 
My favorite way to get recipies is church cookbooks! I once bought one from the cheerleader squad which proved to be a good investment... lots of "local" flavor & some real basic down home cookin!

I got a great cookbook from Center Grove Grill in Summerfield.
The "SYC Community Classics Cookbook"- $16 and it has a stand!
I saw Kris' cake in there. I will look up something to add here.

| Ohh, BUBBA! (Glad to see you again!) What a good idea! I had forgotten about that cookbook. We had talked about it earlier this year and then I lost track of that project. What kind of stand does it have? Sounds like a good gift idea! Are there recipes from folks in our area? ♥♥♥
