I am also especially thankful for the support of my sweet husband, Herman. Compiling this recipe book was a labor of love, and my heart overflows with gratitude to God for giving me this wonderful family. I hope readers will use these recipes often and treasure my cookbook as a special grandmothers keepsake. Introduction When my children were growing up, I spent hours in the kitchen preparing meal after meal, made from scratch, to place on the table. I, like my mom, loved cooking for my family and friends and sending them home with food care packages. Now the cycle is reversed and theyre sending me home with food care packages.

I was a stay-at-home mom for most of my sons growing up years. They knew where they would find me when they came home from school. I would always have their meals ready when they came into the house, calling, Hey, Mom, whats for supper? This practice continued for all their school years, and today it still lingers in my heart and soul. Thats why I chose this title. They all have their own lives now, but they still love to come home to the warmth, love, and country cooking. Almost everyone in the family has mastered the art of good cooking.

Sidney, my elder son, likes to grill and makes a fabulous breakfast. John, my younger son, is an excellent cook. He enjoys making up recipes, stir-frying, country cooking, and grilling. Suzanne and Kathy, daughters-in-law, are also great cooks. The grandchildren are still learning and do quite well. My vibrant, handsome grandson, Andrew, has always enjoyed cooking.

The first thing he wanted to do when he came home was to make biscuits, pancakes, green eggs, and ham. In March 2007, on his way home from attending a culinary arts school and working at night, he was involved in a near fatal automobile accident. By the grace of God, he survived. After many surgeries, years of rehabilitation in different states, suffering the loss of his right arm and brain damage, he was determined to someday resume his studies as a chef. He is now attending a community college studying culinary arts. For years, family and friends have persuaded me to publish a cookbook and I finally relented.

I appreciate so very much the recipes given to me throughout the years by those who are so dear to me. I saved their recipes written on scraps of paper, cards, coffee-stained paper, backs of magazines, empty spaces on newspapers, and I really did have a few typewritten ones. Thank you all so much. I couldnt have collected so many that are tried and true without you. I want to especially thank my good friend, Carol Burt, for her help and encouragement. I hope you enjoy this recipe book as much as I did compiling and writing it.

happy meals my sons enjoyed Breakfast 2 cups self-rising flour cup Crisco plus 1 tablespoon cup whole buttermilk 1 teaspoon baking powder Mix Crisco with flour and baking powder until fairly smooth; add buttermilk slowly. Stir with a fork; knead into a ball and turn on a floured surface. Use a biscuit board or wax paper on the counter; if using a wax paper, then moisten the counter surface before placing the paper down. If batter is too sticky to make into a ball, work in more flour as dough should have enough flour so that it wont stick to surface. Pat or roll out about inch and cut with biscuit cutter or small glass. Dip cutter in flour to keep dough from sticking to it.

Place biscuits in a greased biscuit pan and brush tops with melted butter. Bake on a lower rack in preheated 400 oven for 8 minutes. Place them on a top rack and turn on broil until brown. Yields 14 small biscuits. If using plain flour, add 1 teaspoon salt, teaspoon soda, and 2 teaspoons baking powder. The secret to making good biscuits is to have a moist dough, one that can easily be formed into a ball without being sticky.

Stirring or working batter too much creates tough dough. Work the dough quickly and lightly. Heat griddle slowly while mixing batter. 1 egg 1 cups buttermilk teaspoon soda 1 cups flour, self-rising 1 tablespoon sugar 2 tablespoons canola oil or melted butter Beat well 1 egg. Beat in buttermilk and soda. Beat in self-rising flour, sugar, and shortening.

Beat with a whisk or rotary beater until smooth. If using plain flour, add 1 teaspoon baking powder and teaspoon salt. I like the self-rising type because its easier. The nonstick electric skillet works and turns out best for me. Spray skillet with nonstick cooking spray and put about 1 or 2 tablespoons oil in the skillet. When oil gets hot, not smoking, pour batter in the skillet the size of pancakes you desire.

As the batter starts to bubble, flip pancakes over, and when they are golden brown remove from skillet. Add more oil and batter. Repeat the same procedure. When all pancakes have been made, pour hot syrup over buttered pancakes. This recipe is easily doubled. To save time, if you prefer, add butter to pancake syrup and keep hot.

This saves time instead of buttering individual pancakes. This is also my grandson and granddaughters favorite. Andrew likes plain pancakes and also likes to add chocolate chips to them. Jenny likes them plain. Kaylee likes blueberries added. She said the blueberries just seem to explode in her mouth.

Most any kind of fruit may be added. If you are wanting pancakes but just happen to remember youre out of syrup, heres an easy recipe. 1 cup brown sugar 1 cup white sugar 1 cup light corn syrup 1 cup water 1 teaspoon maple flavoring (optional) Combine ingredients and bring to a boil. Boil over medium heat for 5 minutes. If not using immediately, cool and store tightly in a capped jar. When reheating more than once, add a small amount of water.

Yields 1 pints. Good scrambled eggs require low heat and patience. The easy way, as we all know, is to beat eggs, add a little water or milk, salt and pepper to taste, dump in heated, buttered skillet, and scramble quickly. The following recipe is much better if we have the time and patience. Beat well 6 eggs, add 6 tablespoons of milk, salt and pepper to taste, small pieces of any type of cooked ham, and a drop or two of green food coloring. Use a nonstick pan, if available, and spray with nonstick cooking spray.

Melt a heaping tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat. When the butter starts to bubble, pour in mixture of eggs, milk, small ham pieces, and green food coloring. Sprinkle mixture with salt and pepper. Reduce the heat immediately to low. Dont stir the pan. Let the eggs begin to set before starting to scramble them.

With a wooden spoon, begin to scrape eggs from the edge of pan to the center, forming large soft curds. Continue scraping the spoon along the bottom of pan to redistribute eggs as they cook. When eggs look wet but are no longer liquid, gently mound them in the center of pan. Turn off heat, but leave the skillet on burner. The eggs will continue to cook because of the heat of the pan. Serve with biscuits or toast, and you will have some happy campers.
