cookbooks and our Mom's cooking

[Guest guest]

My Mom was the worst cook when it came to main dishes.

I think I had an apron on at age 10 or 11 so I could

learn how to make my own mashed potatoes and place

canned green beans in the center. NOw there isnothing

better than all her homemade breads and pastires,

those put any bakery to shame.

How about others? I taught my older nephew and Mya how

to cook, now Mo is a whole different story, that guy

will eat all our leftovers and recipes that don't come

out and so will his buddies.......LOL

There were a few cookbooks but I don't remember that Mom ever used one

or does now. Everything in the house was Mexican food and mostly

cooked in lard and she used a lot of pork.

I would find myself trying to make salads and eat guacamole as as

toppings for them.

I have my family off lard and pork now so that is a big step in the

right direction. If I make recipes from our files they go over big

and I always leave the recipe. Casseroles are the easiest to take

over.
