Family Recipes

I've included recipes that are handwritten from my mother's and grandmother's scraps of paper and cards, a few of mine, and favorite recipes we've stolen from other people or recipe books.

Appetizers 

Sausage Balls  must have for Christmas morning while opening presents

Ham-It-Up Crescent Snacks   a Christmas party favorite

Casseroles

Pineapple Casserole  an unusual side dish for baked ham. Evelyn got this from a realtor's luncheon. Bake at 325.

Grandmother's Favorite Vegetable Casserole  Evelyn got this from a co-worker when she worked for Probation and Parole. Her favorite. She loves almonds.

Grated Sweet Potato Casserole   definitely a family favorite at Christmas and Thanksgiving. More like a desert than a vegetable.

Hash Brown Potato Casserole   hmm. a pound of Velveeta cheese. A friend of Evelyn's gave her this recipe. A pound of cheese. I'm sure in the 70s this was a common recipe. Recipe from Fannie Reno.
