Chile Relleno Casserole

Another jewel from the St. Andrew’s Cookbook.  This is my godmother, Tia Melody’s, recipe, but Mama Kay submitted it to the cookbook.  Whole green chiles are key — the diced ones will not work.  For non-Texans, this is a problem.  Wal-Mart is (unfortunately) the only place I’ve been able to find them in North Carolina, [...]

German Pancake

Posted by Amy
This is incredibly good.
“Tia B’s German Pancake” was a childhood breakfast favorite, and it’s always in high demand in Warrenton.  This makes 4 large slices that could be breakfast with fruit for 4 people.  However, two people can also eat the entire thing (I speak from personal experience.)

Oatmeal Bread

Seriously, this bread is super easy and so delicious.  Make sure your measurements are exact…a little too much flour or not warm enough milk will prevent the dough from rising.  I’ve added a tsp. of cinnamon and it makes a delicious breakfast bread with cream cheese and honey…so yummy.  I have never added the currants, [...]

Vegetable Quiche Cups To Go

Posted By Amy
This is a fantastic recipe taken from Phase 1 of the South Beach Diet book.

My variations:  The above recipe typically makes 6 full quiche cups for me.  I like to sauté mushrooms, onions and garlic first, and then add the spinach at the end.  I let the mixture cool on the stove some [...]

Mama Kay’s Waffles and Syrup

Posted By Amy
Mama Kay always made the best waffles with homemade syrup.  Hers were always the perfect texture and expertly cooked — so good!  She also always made homemade syrup that was hot off the stove.  The wheat germ is key.  It’s not always easy to find, but a Whole Foods type place will have [...]
