Chicken Cacciatore

Reviewed: Jun. 13, 2011

Yes, "cacciatore" does mean "hunter" in Italian. But, this delightful dish is often over-done. Dredge the chicken breasts in well-seasoned flour. Brown quickly on both sides. Place in baking dish, cover with 1/2 jar of Newman's Own marinara sauce and 1 can of tomato/greenpeppper/onion sauce. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and serve with garlic toast. THAT is Chicken Cacciatore.

Make this superior chocolate cake, and you'll never use another recipe. You'll even stop buying cake mixes -- it's that good! A Holiday must!

Fried Cabbage II

Reviewed: Feb. 7, 2009

Really terrific! Nutritionists tell us we're supposed to eat at least 3 servings of cruciferous vegetables a week [broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage] ... and, this one is very simple and downright delicious. I served it with bratwurst -- it was a HIT! For leftovers, mix the cabbage with leftover mashed potatoes, reheat and serve with corned beef! AMAZING!

Grandma's Corn Pudding

Reviewed: Nov. 26, 2008

A good basic recipe for an Old Classic. However, I added 1/4 cup instant corn grits, 1 tsp salt and reduced the eggs to 3, and reduced the sugar to 3 Tablespoons [corn is already pretty sweet -- you want this to be a Side Dish, not a Dessert] -- now, THAT tastes like true Southern "corn puddin'"!

Colonel Jackson's Smothered Chicken

Reviewed: Nov. 8, 2008

Try substituing 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth for the vinegar for a "truly southern" version of this classic. Also substitute vidalia onion for red onion.

Banana Bran Zucchini Bread

Reviewed: Sep. 2, 2008

I followed this recipe to the letter -- and did NOT get a "frothy" batter. It was more like a bread dough. Was an ingredient left out? -- like hot water? I appreciate the effort, and was enthused by the ingredients ... but, am a bit puzzled that others had no problems with the "frothy batter." :(

Sweet Potato Pie II

Reviewed: Nov. 17, 2002

This splendidly spicy, buttery rendition of the Old South Favorite is more historically authentic by using brown sugar and remembering to add GINGER to the spices. Very early American, old fashioned and perfectly delicious. Can also be doubled for two pies.

D' Best Chicken N' Dumplings

Reviewed: Mar. 8, 2002

THIS is the authentic, real, you-haven't-lived-until-you've tried it Old Fashioned Chicken n' Dumplin's. When we talk C n' D in the South THIS is what we're talking about. Takes longer, because you make your own broth...but it am the real thing! Mm-hmm! Very close to My Grandma's recipe -- and she ran a boarding house back in turn-of-the-century Waxahachie, Texas!

Golden Cake Batter Bread

Reviewed: Oct. 25, 2000

A quick and easy recipe for a wonderful old, traditional (and historic) bread. This was always kept at Jefferson's Monticello. Makes wonderful French Toast, Bread Pudding and Breakfast Sausage Casserole.

Orange Chiffon Cake

Reviewed: May 1, 2000

This is a great "keeper cake" -- perfect to have on hand for serving with summer fruits and berries. It dresses up nicely with custards or creams and quickly becomes an Old Standby Cake. Can't imagine not making it about four or five times a year.

Spicy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Reviewed: Apr. 7, 2000

All wonderful cookie recipes should be this easy! Great to take to picnics, long road trips, afternoon meetings, luncheons or tea. AND simply unbeatable on cold, snowy afternoons with a glass of milk, cup of coffee or cocoa!
