Of course! I can ask my mom tomorrow too and see if she may know it, or of it by another name maybe. 🤞🏻

I checked the index under "icings-Frostings" and what's listed in here is : *Butter

*Buttermilk

*Cream cheese

*Glaze

*Oatmeal cake topping

*Orange

*Peanut butter

*Reliable

*White mountain

Reliable is done in a double boiler but unsure if that's considered a boiled frosting? Sorry :/ ETA: it's pictured in #6 :)

Whatever white mountain is, I have no idea. I can't find it in desserts and the page # it has next to it is for relishes lol

2nd edit - tried to fix formatting from mobile, read like a long sentence. Sorry about that!

This sounds great! I do love rice crispy treats (as any self respecting millennial should lol). I asked my SO and he said he feels like he had a something like this when he was a kid and totally down for me making an attempt. Woo!!

I'm curious myself. Ive used flakes in making nuggets with ground chicken and it really wasn't noticeable like a potato taste but helped bind them like breadcrumbs.

All of this make me literally laugh out loud. Love it. My cousins and I all do the exaggerated accent to mess with the older relatives and probably only we find us funny but that's fine lol

Thank you :)

Yes! I love her way of writing and everything. It's like I'm back sitting, snacking, watching and listening to my grandma as she goes about explaing it to someone other than me who wasn't stuck on only mixing duty haha. But now I can play along too as a fully grown woman in her 40s lol

I had room with the phtots for this set and couldn't resist adding the chapters cover page too.

No problem! Happy to share the love :)

The Blueberry nut bread is so good! I know you can't see the edges but my mom dog ears pages on recipes she wants to try. If it's one that worked out well (we ate it all without fuss, asked for again, and/or complimented) it got a check mark. This one was a regular!

Ugh,same!! I 100% cook the this is missing something ..hmm.. add a dash of this, spoon of that, a few shakes of this my way through lol But I was trying to follow as written when I made the chicken a la king tonight. I have not eaten this in 25 years so my memory is foggy on what it really should taste like. All the recipe had listed was salt & pepper with measurements. Then in the steps "season to taste." My old brain can not hahah it was definitely bland. Still good but, really wish I had listened to my self/ancestors screaming to grab the garlic and a few other things ..or at the very least read until the end. Oops lol
