I hope you enjoy my new category: Vonnie’s cookbook collection. I will pick out recipes from cookbooks I especially like. Some are very old, some not so much. Being a cookbook addict, I’ve had plenty!
This particular cookbook comes from Kentucky during the ’60’s or ’70’s. The cover and some pages are missing. But the obvious use it has received caused me to be interested. By the way, no offense to anyone named Verna, it’s just a name not common for quite a while!
Enjoy this old time recipe from a lady named Ethel.
