It’s time to dig through my recipe box and find some simple recipes to warm the tummy and the soul. The first is prepared the night before baking, and is a recipe from Mary Wade, a member of my church in Indiana. The second is a drink mix shared by Toot Walls when we were at OBC. The last [...]
The first recipe is from my Uncle Bud. I was only about 17 or 18 at the time and didn’t have a clue how to fix something as simple as wilted lettuce. Uncle Bud caught me trying to figure it out one day while I was at my grandmother’s house, and helped me out.
The second is a salad [...]
I have two dessert recipes to share with you today. They can bring your fresh goodies to a sweet ending. The first is my father’s recipe for concord grape pie. This was his specialty. I don’t know where the recipe originated, but it was synonymous with George Lawson. The second is a carrot cake recipe [...]
I’m sharing a couple recipes that might come in handy when you’re trying to figure out what to do with all the garden goodies. The first recipe is one that was shared with me by my former mother-in-law, Dorothy. It’s absolutely yummy on sandwiches. It can really dress up bologna or anything else you happen [...]

The second recipe was given to me by [...]

It’s cold outside and now would be a good time to have a nice warm treat. Maybe a slice of warm homemade bread or a cup of tea and a handful of quick no bake cookies. The first recipe is my Grandma Lawson’s Cottage Cheese Bread. And no, it doesn’t taste like cottage cheese. Another [...]
I plan on making a batch of this for some freezer meals this week. This recipe was given to me by a friend, Terry Martin, when we were at OBC together. Three families from my local church made the trek from Indiana to Joplin, MO to attend Bible college. There was Jim and Paulette and [...]
One of my comfort foods when it gets cold is chili. I can’t make chili just for a couple people. No matter what I do, I always end up with a huge kettle full by the time I quit adding ingredients. But that’s okay. Chili is always better the second day and it freezes well. [...]
Today we are once again traveling back to the kitchen for more freezer cooking. I’m going to give you a few recipes to try out for your freezer meals. This is another freezer prep day for me.
The first recipe is one from my OBC years. It’s Florence Douglas’s Chicken Pie. The second is Sheila McKinney’s [...]
