I love a good cookbook, even if I don’t cook
as much as I once did. This is one of those indulgent books that tells you how
to cook good food, and involves ingredients like “1 stick of butter” or “1 block
of cream cheese”. I immediately wrote down four recipes and need to add a couple
things to my shopping list.
With funny names like Crock Pot-ato Soup and
RotelTisserieVeetaTini and Ain’tChiladas, the cook obviously has a sense of
humor. He also promotes charitable organizations close to his heart without
being preachy about it. His love of family and friends also comes through in the
short narratives accompanying some of the recipes.
Myrtle’s Pasta Bake sounds a
lot like the baked ziti that my husband orders at our favorite local Italian
place. Pasta, meat sauce, cheese: I could fix me a plate of that.
Sweet Potato
Casserole isn’t an everyday food at my house, but this one sounds like a
delicious variation that might be worth making for the next holiday. I can
practically taste it now.
Sodie Spice Cake is literally what it sounds like. A
can of whatever soda you like, a box of whatever cake mix, both dumped over some
apple pie filling. I haven’t made a dessert in ages, but I think this would be a
big hit next time we have a family gathering.
But that Chicken Cobbler…I might
just make that this weekend. Shredded chicken, any variety of vegetables,
biscuit mix, some liquids and that stick of butter—come fix you a plate.
