Thursdays Are For Cooking
Biscuits Supreme from the Good Old Days In this case, it’s a 1953 recipe titled “Biscuits Supreme” from Better Homes & Gardens. My dad used to make these, and pecan rolls, and they are really good on a cold winter weekend morning. When you split them open in the winter, the steam rising out of […]
Simple Sunday Dinner From the Hillbilly Kitchen
Here we have a group of videos from a young lady (and Mama) who calls her type of cooking ‘hillbilly cooking’. After watching all those episodes of the 90+ lady who showed us how her family survived the Great Depression, I’m glad that we have someone who can follow in her footsteps with simple, inexpensive […]

Thursdays Are For Cooking….
