The Book

Friday, May 14, 2010


Do you have a favorite cookbook?

Now, I don't mean a book that you just like to look at...I mean one you use! I have a fairly nice collection of cookbooks, that I read like the latest bestseller, but there is only one that I use.  I mean really, really use.  It's my Rocky Pond Baptist Church... um, cookbook.  It was a Christmas gift back in 1999 from my MIL.  I was recently married and she probably thought I was going to starve her son...just kidding.  If there's one thing we do well around here...it's eat!

Cookbook1
Can you tell I use it?

Anyway, I love this thing.  It has all the comfort food that you could want.  Perfect dishes for any occasion!
Everything from Wedding Punch to Winter Salad! (which btw..is deelish)

Cookbook2
I love trying out the recipes from all these talented Ladies *and men*. 

You haven't lived until you try the "Deep Dish Taco Squares" or "Aunt Violet's Meat Loaf"!

I needed something easy  for dinner the other night, so to *The Book* I went! I'd never tried my hand at Quiche before, but I had all the ingredients for the Hamburger Quiche recipe.  Well, it was wonderful and best of all...my children loved it! 

Cookbook4


Hamburger Quiche

1 unbaked 9-inch pie shell                 1 Tbsp. cornstarch
1/2 lb. hamburger                              1 1/2 c. grated cheddar cheese
1/2 c. mayonnaise                              1/3 c. chopped onion
1/2 c. milk                                          salt and pepper
2 eggs

Brown meat and onions in skillet and drain.  Set aside.  Blend mayonnaise, milk, eggs and cornstarch.  Stir in meat, onions, cheese, salt and pepper.  Pour into pie shell and bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown and knife comes out clean when inserted into the middle.

Enjoy!

Sounds like a lovely book - it's wonderful to have things like that. The recipe looks yummy too.

I love old cookbooks, and am currently going through some that my parents left me, along with my Mom's recipe file. It's a wonderful project and is bringing back lots of great memories.

I have a nice collection of church cookbooks. There are some real treasure to be found inside.

Most of my favorite recipes come from two cookbooks that I own, both of which are church cookbooks. The recipes are crowd pleaser types.

That quiche recipe looks like a crowd pleaser as well!

I love to read cookbooks, too. The ones put together by groups like churches and civic organizations are the best, because you KNOW they are tried and true!
