I have to admit that there are few of the casseroles that my kids love too. Who can go wrong with macaroni as far as kids are concerned?<BR/>As for the salad? I have to admit that I am intrigued and horrified at the same time. What can I say? I'm Canadian and pretzels go with salt, not sweet up here. But with y'all ravin' 'bout it, I'm willing to give it a go in the spring.Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11545713753520362397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18444369.post-8754712030782001922007-02-14T14:02:00.000-05:002007-02-14T14:02:00.000-05:00you're a woman after my own heart... i am fascinat...you're a woman after my own heart... i am fascinated/obsessed by church lady cooking. casseroles with potato chips? hook me up! i would love to attend your fantasy backyard potluck :) most of my southern experiments center around the noodle casserole. cream of mushroom soup is of course key, sometimes with cream of celery... the foundation of a super-fine macaroni and cheese! <BR/>my parents (both immigrants from india) have a similar fascination, especially my dad. i distinctly remember the day he first made banana pudding, and the joy he felt in decorating it with the nilla wafers.amishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05153910403783107480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18444369.post-29758793858546426452007-02-14T09:42:00.000-05:002007-02-14T09:42:00.000-05:00i am probably the most unsouthern southern person ...i am probably the most <I>unsouthern <B>southern</B></I> person in the world. i have lived below the mason dixon line my entire life, and have managed to dodge many of these recipes and their relatives. not until i was a college student, did i experience a true southern casserole. cornflakes?! i am a jello purist, and don't think it sould be mixed with marshmellows and fruit. and i'm terrified of things that can be made by simply dumping in boxes and cans of stuff, all processed foods. eeks! how did this all come to be? ... well, my parent's aren't southern.<BR/>and you're right ... the last time i went to the big library book sale, the cookbook tables were loaded with church recipe books!<BR/>happy cooking/assembling/experimenting :)gray la granhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07428881553665142659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18444369.post-47089353809429838402007-02-13T23:27:00.000-05:002007-02-13T23:27:00.000-05:00a treasure-trove!

I freaked the first family gathering here in the Midwest. I was a chef in Berkeley at the time, and was overwhelmed by the presence of jello molds!! Salads with Snickers in them! Now, I reach for those Church Lady cookbooks pretty often... assimilation... aaaaaaaa!!!Staciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13522447943395054768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18444369.post-72201742510666449112007-02-13T14:03:00.000-05:002007-02-13T14:03:00.000-05:00Wowie!

Cooking with Christians is one fine title.<BR/><BR/>Many of my favorite holiday cookie recipes come from church cookbooks I inherited from my grandma. There are plenty of ingredients like oleo and corn syrup. I usually avoid those recipes.<BR/><BR/>The entree sections are often quite terrifying, especially to the former vegetarian/not quite carnivore.Jodihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15122120372734286698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18444369.post-65771790790617232522007-02-13T13:21:00.000-05:002007-02-13T13:21:00.000-05:00I looovve that strawberry salad.

Hey, there's nothing wrong with a little comfort food (read: church-lady food) now and again.Kristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02424879524023511785noreply@blogger.com
