Super Bowl Munchies!
Jan 26th
Although I’m very into college football, I RARELY watch professional football, except for 1 game per year – the Super Bowl. It’s not really the game I get excited about, it’s the time spent with friends that I enjoy … and the food!
I put the above Soft Pretzel recipe in the newsletter today to get us thinking about our Super Bowl Menus next week. What do you normally serve? Munchie foods? Wonderful dinner spread? Out to eat?
Please share your favorite Super Bowl Menu ideas, recipes, and memories with everyone on our website as a comment below – your idea just might be featured in next week’s newsletter!

Loading ...“Gran’s” Dream Kitchen
Jan 12th
Progressive Farmer (Dowdell) Feb 1954
My dad recently found the article reference below at my grandparents’ house. This article was written in the 1950′s about my great grandmother and great grandfather. My great grandmother renovated the kitchen at the house where my dad grew up and speaks of her “dream kitchen” that had modern conveniences.
Of course, the moment I got to the end of the article, I decided to try out her recipe for Chocolate Macaroons. The recipe calls for 1 Sweet Chocolate Cake and I wasn’t real sure what that meant. So, I decided to substitute 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and melted those down. It turned out great. The cookies had a crusty top and were absolutely delicious.
