here's mine:
1 stick butter
2 heaping Tbls flour
2 cups broth
Melt butter over medium heat in a saucepan. Stir in flour making sure all lumps are gone. Slowly pour in broth stirring continuosly. Heat while stirring until it thickens a bit and the flour taste is cooked out.

I use this sauce recipe in several different dishes - you can use chicken broth and add shredded chicken and simply pour over cornbread; you can take that a step further and add veggies for the best pot pie filling you ever ate,
It's also amazing with beef broth and poured over cubed steaks - sear them first, add cream of onion to the sauce, put mushrooms onions and bell pepper over the steaks and cover with sauce.bake at 350º for thirty to forty mins.

First, sample the whiskey to check for quality.

Assemble all of the ingredients. Check the whiskey again.

To be sure it is of the highest quality, pour one level cup and drink.

Repeat this step.

fluffy bowl. Add one teaspoon of sugar and cream until beat.

Make sure the whiskey is still okay... try another cup.

then chunk in the cup of dried flut. Mix on the tuner.

Throw in two quarts of flour. Gradually pour in the cow.

If the fried druit gets struck in the beaters, pry it loose with

a drewscriver. Sample the whiskey and check it again for tonsistency.

Next, sift two cups of salt. Or something. Who cares???

Check the whiskey again.

Now sift the nutmeg and strain your nuts. Add one table.

And the spoon. Of whiskee. Or something. Whatever you find left.

Grease the oven.

Turn the crake pan to 350 degrees. Don't forget to beat off the turner.

Chicken Salad like Arby's

2 c. cooked chicken, diced
1/2 c. celery, diced fine
1/2 Miracle Whip
1/4 c. chopped pecans
1/2 c. chopped apple
1/2 c.red globe grapes halved

Mix all together. If you like your salad a bit "wetter" then add more miracle whip.
I buy Pita Chips and use this salad as dip .....

Does anyone have a really good recipe for chestnut dressing? I believe the one grandma used had pecans in it also. It was so good and I am so sorry I didn't get that recipe before she passed.

Vermont Maple Fudge
2 (10oz) pkgs of vanilla milk chips

Combine chips and Eagle Brand Milk in glass bowl. Microwave on high for 2 minutes. Stir and microwave 1 minute more to melt chips. Stir in rest of the ingredients. Spread into 8" square pan. Refrigerate and cut into sqaures when cool.
Can also use chocolate chips instead of vanilla chips.
