Old Fashion Tea Cakes

I'm sure lots of you can remember that tea cakes or sugar cookies were one of your favorite things when you were a kid.  Things have become so fast paced that your everyday working mom/dad just don't have time to make things from scratch.  I wonder if I ask you to make a plain cake with chocolate icing, without using a recipe or mix from a box could you do it?  I would have to think on it for a few minutes.  Take the time for cookies it's fun and they are great!!

Unusual Combination

Several years ago I discovered an unusual combination that my husband and I enjoy. You take a can of apple pie filling and mix in a can of sliced or baby carrots add a tablespoon of butter and heat.  It has a unique taste that goes great with just about anything.  We had it tonight with pork chops and spanish rice.  Enjoy

My oh my!!

I cook a lot of venison.  I have cooked it in every way you can think and today I found a new way.  I was looking for a way to cook dinner while I was in my deer stand hunting.  I had a pack of venison cubed steak thawing and I got this idea to put it in a cook in bag.  So I sprinkled a little meat tenderizer on it, put it in the bag, mixed a can of mushroom soup and a half can of water, and poured it in the bag.  I put it in the oven at three o'clock and set it on 300, when I came back from the stand at six, WOW!!!  The venison was so tender it would melt in your mouth.  I took a pack of yellow squash that I had in the freezer and added a can of tomato & okra cooked until tender.   I also used a box of dressing mix and made quick dressing.  What a dinner, and it was easy to fix; and the main course was cooked while I was looking for more venison.  I hope that you try some of my recipes and enjoy them the way my family does.

Mama's Potato Candy

I always get a big kick out of peoples faces when they find out that this candy is made from a potato!  Up until last year I had never meet anyone else who had eaten it before.  It was something Mama made special for us at Christmas.  It is so good!! Sometimes she would add food color to make it green and red.  It's rich and it's good.   Sometimes it takes a lot of powdered sugar so don't get worried, just keep adding until you get a real stiff biscuit type dough then roll it out thin and spread your peanut butter over it.  It will cut in pieces better if you let it chill in the fridge for a little while.  Enjoy!!

Mama's Sausage Cookies

One of the things that my mom made us a treats is sausage cookies.  She always mixed up dough like she was going to make a pan of biscuits then rolled it out thin. Next she would spread her sausage over the dough.  Next she would roll it up like a jelly roll and put it in the refrigerator for a couple of hours.  Then she would cut it in slices and cook at 350 until brown.  I find it hard to share some of her recipes with you because she never measured  things.  So sometimes I modify them just a bit.  If you want to try her jelly roll method it isn't hard.  I hope you and yours enjoy them as much as we do.
