Grandma's Recipes

This week my Mom and I were talking about extended family. I was born later in my Mom's life so I really don't know many of the extended family on either parents side. Unfortunately that same disconnect holds true for my siblings' children and their children. That made me think of how we could bridge that divide a little, and give my Mom's grand and great grandchildren a piece of her. They may not be in the same state as she is but they can share some of the family stories and recipes that we grew up on.

The first recipe that I am going to share is for Peanut butter candy. My Dad had a huge sweet tooth and every time he got hungry for something sweet he would ask Mom to make a batch. Mom would pull out her old tattered cookbook and set to work. Us kids would gather around once she poured it into the plate to lick the spoon and the pot (yes it is that good).

I plan on sharing over the next three weeks, several of Grandma's recipes. I have one more recipe on tape of Chicken fried steak with a side of corn fritters, but computer problems won't let me upload it tonight maybe by mid week. I was running out of space on my computer so I had to export this in a smaller format, but I hope you are still able to hear and see Grandma as she walks you through the most popular Smith recipe ever.

I hope you enjoy Grandma's Peanut Butter candy. The plate in this video was a quarter gone when we wrapped it up and went to bed but there was only two pieces left by morning :) Enjoy and come back for the Chiicken Fried Steak and Corn Fritters and our next video session we will capture Grandma's Sour cream Pound Cake.
