In addition to making bread, I also was intrigued by the way the hostess of Taste of the Country kept referring to family recipes when she cooked. Thanks to my oldest sister, I do have 2 collections of family recipes. I love it and one is so stained and dog-eared that it is hard to read some recipes.

So I thought I’d branch out. I pulled out a Dining During the Depression and Forgotten Recipes books, then I found a few cookbooks from churches. Does anyone remember when churches used to publish cookbooks as fundraisers? I have a few. I also have some from the State Fair, with winning recipes. {Our state fair no longer produces cookbooks:( }

Of course, I went right for the desserts. To be frank, it wasn’t completely my fault. My coworkers and I got to talking about how great cobbler is.

And Sprouts put peaches on sale.

Et voila:

It was delicious. And yes, I did share with my friends at work.

Sadly, while the cobbler turned out wonderfully, my son’s cat took exception to me picking him up and peed on one of my church cookbooks. I don’t think I can get that smell out.

Ah well. Until next time.
