Potato Soup

The recipe for this isn't on the blog but will be in the cookbook. My mom used to make Potato Soup for my family a lot when we were young. A bit of diced cooked salt pork would be a great addtion.

Split Pea Soup

Again, all photos I am putting on the blog today still need photoshopped and I have others if they don't work. This is one of my favorite recipes on the blog. And the homemade croutons top off the soup wonderfully. The recipe is on this blog.

Pound Cake

This is a photo of the Pound Cake. The recipe on the blog is different than the one that will be in the cookbook.

Potato Salad

The Potato Salad with Boiled Dressing is on this blog. The photo will be photoshopped for the cookbook.

Cold Slaw

The photos I am adding will all be photoshopped before the cookbook is completed by my daughter, Heather Land. The recipe for this photo is on the blog.

Cornmeal Griddle Cakes

This is a photo of Cornmeal Griddle Cakes which will be in the cookbook. The recipe isn't on the blog.

CARAMEL ICING

large saucepan
wooden spoon
measuring cups
heat-safe bowl

1 cup homemade brown sugar, packed
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup whole milk
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla

Heat the burner to high heat. Add the brown sugar, granulated sugar, milk, and butter to the saucepan. Bring the mixture to boiling and boil for 1 minute; stirring continuously. Remove the saucepan from the heat and pour into a heat safe bowl. Beat the mixture until it reaches a spreadable mixture; approximately 15 minutes. Add the vanilla and ice your cakes. If the mixture is too thick, add a scant more milk.

Frosts two 8" round cakes. Great for the Cider Cake and the Spice Cake.
