Have you lost a recipe ?
Let us help you find it.
Maybe it’s one that was
on the back of a box. Maybe
you remember having it as
a child.
Maybe you tried it at a
restaurant and want some
thing similar.
Just call Charlotte
Perkins at 987-1823, Ext.
234, or send an e-mail
to hhjfood@yahoo.com
with your recipe request,
and if we can’t find and

Peach bread
Nan Mays of Warner
Robins called about a rec
ipe for peach bread.
She had one clipped
from another paper long
ago, but it didn’t have the
amount of flour listed in
the ingredients.
She had guessed 2
cups, and had pretty good
results, but thought it
didn’t rise quite enough.
The mystery was solved
by an Internet search,
which brought up a num
ber or peach breads, mostly
with pecans, mostly made
(Just as she had ‘guess
timated’) with 2 cups of
flour.
The missing ingredient
was baking soda.
Nan tried it again and
called back to say that it
was a real success.
So here’s the recipe,
with all the ingredient::
Peach Bread
1 1/2 cups granulated
sugar
1/2 cup shortening
2 eggs
2 1/4 cups mashed
peaches
2 cups ail-purpose
flour
1 1/2 teaspoons
ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking
soda
1 teaspoon baking
powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons vanil
la
1 cup chopped
pecans
Preheat oven to 325
degrees. Cream sugar
and shortening until light,
using a large bowl. Add
eggs and beat well.
Add mashed peaches
and dry ingredients and
blend.
Stir in vanilla and
chopped pecans and until
blended. Pour into two
greased and floured 9x5-
inch loaf pans.
Bake for 55 minutes.
Cool before removing from
pan.
Thousand
Island dressing
Here’s a blast from the
past - but still good, and
very handy to know about
if you’ve got a salad ready
and just realized that you
don’t have any dressing.
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup chili sauce
(seafood style) or
ketchup
1 teaspoon mjnced
onion
5 pimento stuffed
olives, chopped fine
Mix well and add salt
and pepper to taste.
This goes well on any
green salad, is a good dip
for raw veggies, and is
pretty good on hamburg
ers, too.
That combread!
In case you’ve lost your
recipe for that combread
that’s made with sour
ream and a can of creamed
com, here it is again.
Jalapeno peppers can
be added, but who needs
‘em?

Wednesday night wonders
Church food some of the best around
By CHARLOTTE PERKINS
HHJ Lifestyle Editor
Maybe it’s the gath
ering together.
Maybe it’s a good
occasion for cooks to show
off their best recipes.
Maybe the food gets a spe
cial blessing just because
it’s served in a fellowship
hall, but something all
Southerners know is that
church dinners and church
suppers offer some of the
best food around.
Here are some from a
recent Wednesday night
supper at Bonaire United
Methodist Church.
Chicken with Sour
Cream
Earline Cole brought this
dish, doubled.
4 chicken breasts, sea
soned and boiled, cut
into bite-sized piees
1 can cream of chicken
soup
12 cup sour cream
17 crushed Ritz crack
ers
1/2 stick margarine
melted.
Put chicken pieces in bot
tom of casserole. Combine
soup and sour cream and
spread mixture over chick
en. Sprinkle cracker crumbs
over soup mixture and top
wi9th melted margarine.
Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
Chicken Grape
Salad Recipe
Sue Kidd prepared this
delicious dish for the church
supper.
Is it a dessert or a salad?
It could be either.
4 cups seedless grapes
(better with red and
green mix)
1 8-oz. carton sour
cream
1 8-oz. package cream
cheese
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
Topping
1/2 cup chopped
pecans
3 large tablespoons of
brown sugar
(Mix in plastic sand
wich bag)
Combine sour cream,
cream cheese, sugar and
vanilla. Fold in washed,
stemles grapes. Refrigerate
until ready to serve. Then
sprinkle on topping.
Like many church
cookbooks, “Country
Favorites” by the Bonaire
United Methodist Women,
has long-since sold out.
The one copy we could get
somebody to lend us was so
worn out with page turn
ing that the spiral binding
had started ,to un-spiral,
and pages were ready to fall
everywhere.
It was worth taping
together, though, and here
are some recipes you might
never find anywhere else:
