I really love to cook and in the past 5 years or so I got more into food thanks to the Food Network. I don't watch much TV but when I do it is usually food related programs. While this is what recently got me more into food, the original inspiration was my parents. My Dad was an adventurous eater as he was in the Air Force and got to travel the world trying new foods. My Mom was more of a traditional comfort food kind of cook. She passed away when I was 6 but I still have her only cookbook that most of the recipes in my house came from. (my grandma had a strange penchant for all things Bisquick but I won't get into that now)
So I promise the future blog posts will be food and cooking steps, even some of my mundane thrown together quick meals will be documented, but for now I'd like to share my Mom's cookbook with you all.
This is a regional thing that never fails to crack me up. In Western PA one does not eat hamburger, you eat Hamburg. Yes, a little bit of Germany in your recipes.
This is another older term that Tom (the picky Significant Other) was baffled by, Oleo. Oleo is what margarine was referred to when I was growing up.
There are some hand written recipes from my Mom which are special to me. You would think I would be rushing to make this to relive this childhood memory, but that childhood dish is firmly planted in my memory as tasting like paste and creating a cement like starch ball in my mouth and gut. Still, this was better than my grandma's Bisquick creations any day.
This dish I do remember eating a lot of and adoring. This is pure comfort food to me and I still get cravings for it.
I will be doing a recipe from this cookbook coming up soon so I look forward to sharing that with you!
