Aunt Jean's Sourdough Bread


As promised, here is Aunt Jean's sourdough bread recipe. She's made this bread for years and long ago dismissed with using a recipe. She worked really hard to get it into a sharable form for us. She wanted me to encourage everyone not to be intimidated by the numerous steps in making this bread. She says it is much easier that it appears in writing! Aunt Jean loves baking and sharing this bread. It's a true ministry for her!

3/4 cups sugar

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...

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 ...

 Mrs. Carter's Jubilee Jumbles  Mrs. Carter's Jubilee Jumbles Many thanks to my friend, Wayne, for posting this delicious recipe! I knew when I saw it that I had to make these for the "Lost Crew." They were a hit!  These cake-like cookies are simply delicious! The brunt sugar icing is perfect! This was one of Wayne's mom's recipes. Be sure to take a look at Mrs. Carter's original recipe in her own handwriting . I love that! What a treasure! I have formatted the recipe to conform to my usual way of posting (Y'all have been able to tell I have a format, right?;) I do like Mrs. Carter's version better, though! I am sure her icing looked much neater than mine! The kids were rushing me. Lost was coming on! Thanks again for sharing this, Wayne! These are wonderful!! ½ cup shortening 1 cup dark brown sugar ½ cup regular sugar 2 eggs 2¾ cups plain flour 1 cup undiluted Carnation evaporated milk 1 teaspoon vanilla ½ teaspoon soda ½ teaspoon s...
