Blondies

This recipe has been around for years! I've heard it called by a myriad of names - Blondies, Scotchies, White Brownies, Butterscotch Bar, etc. Most of the time all the needed ingredients can be found in your panty and fridge.  You can toss in a cup or two of chopped nuts, chocolate chips, vanilla chips, butterscotch chips, peanut butter chips, M&M baking candies, Reese's baking candies, etc. to make different varieties. A combination of these choices is very tasty. It's a great way to use up those small bits of baking chips and nuts. A couple of our favorite combinations are white chocolate chips and macadama nuts, and pecans and milk chocolate chips. This recipe can be halved and baked in an 8x8 pan, but go ahead and make the 9x13 size and share with a friend or neighbor!

1/2 cup butter
2 cups packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup milk
2 large eggs
2 cups self-rising flour
1 cup chopped nuts
1 cup baking chips, any flavor

Heat oven to 350³F.
Coat 9x13-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
Melt butter in a large saucepan over low heat; remove from heat.
Stir in remaining ingredients.
Spread into prepared pan.
Bake about 25 minutes or until golden brown.
Allow to cool before cutting into squares.

  1. We frequently make these too, but I have never added the 1/4 cup milk. I think they are sometimes too dry, so maybe the milk is just what I have been missing! I plan to try these soon, with the milk. Thanks for sharing!

Georgia Cornbread Cake

I clipped this recipe several years ago from American Profile, which is a small magazine insert that come with our local newspaper, The Pontotoc Progress. It is yummy, yummy, yummy!  I love the story that accompanied the recipe and was delighted when a Google searched turned up the same article on the web! Larry took this to work, and he said it was a huge hit with everyone! Enjoy! Georgia Cornbread Cake Georgia Cornbread Cake   Recipe of Stella T. Thompson from American Profile "I am 86 years old and have been cooking since I was 9. This recipe has been in my family for many years.

Dough Burgers

  Dough Burgers Dough burgers are popular in our neck of the woods. Phillips Grocery in Oxford has received national acclaim for their top-secret-recipe dough burger. I ate two while I was staying at the hospital with my dad recently! It is the nearest restaurant!  When Larry and I were newlyweds and living in New Albany, we loved going to Latham’s for their yummy version of this delicious sandwich. Several other area cities also offer well-known versions of this unique burger. Tupelo’s Johnny’s Drive-In has the "Johnnieburger," and Corinth even has a festival named in honor of their dough burger, affectionately known as “The Slugburger.” Here in our own dear Pontotoc, we love the "Wonderburger" at Butcher Block! Dough burgers supposedly originated during the Great Depression. Adding flour was a great way to stretch hamburger meat. While possibly born out of necessity, it has remained a part of the Southern diet due to its delectable taste. I’ve eaten my share

Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute - Regular and Reduced-Fat Versions

Although very convenient, commercially prepared condensed soups are expensive and may contain additives and ingredients you'd prefer to skip. You can use these condensed soup substitutes in dishes instead of commercially prepared condensed soups. These homemade substitutes are very easy and quick to make! They taste much better, too. I have almost stopped purchasing the canned versions. Using heart-healthy butter spreads, low-fat or fat-free milk, and low-sodium broth allows you to make these recipes more healthful. You can customize with these simple recipes by adding other seasonings such as garlic powder, celery salt, onion powder, etc. Condensed Cream of Celery Soup Condensed Cream of Chicken Substitute Condensed Cream of Mushroom Substitute Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute 3 tablespoons butter 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 cup milk 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese salt, to taste Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat; add flour and whisk until s
