A family favorite from my favorite Aunt. She says she got the idea for Cheesy Potatoes from reading the ingredients for Mac and Cheese on the 8oz box of macaroni, substituted Baking potatoes and Processed Cheese (the original of course!) Continue reading
Homemade Pimento Cheese is easy to make and is a classic go-to for spreading on sandwiches for all kinds of occasions.
This became one of my Mother’s simple signature recipes, passed around to friends and family. I remember eating it for countless school lunches, and her using it spread on making hundreds of those little fancy finger sandwiches, cut into triangles and no crust, and served at wedding and baby showers and church receptions.
One of my cousins gifted me with a copy of her church cookbook titled “Saints and Sinners Cookbook” celebrating the 5oth anniversary of their Lutheran Church in La Grange, Texas. What a fun tribute to a collection of recipe favorites, old and new from their members.
La Grange is a collection of many points of interest…. from Czech and German immigration…to the infamous Chicken Ranch, an International Quilt Museum, and the half-way stop for the annual MS 150 bike race from Houston to Austin which helps race over $12 million .
You can walk around the town square and also get a collection of interesting foods…. from Kolaches and Pigs in a Blanket from Lukas Bakery; Prause’s daily slow smoked Barbeque, sliced your way, served until they run out (usually by 1:00pm); or an intimate little meal at The Bistro, which has great food, wine, and a Sunday Prime Rib.
This quiche recipe doesn’t really fall into any specific collected area of interest, it’s just an awesome little quiche that makes it’s own crust.
