Mammaw’s Pralines

Mom and I were visiting yesterday and she told me that Aunt Beth learned to make these pralines from Mrs. Finch. I told her that I had found some praline recipes in mammaw’s  old cookbooks that I had saved from years ago, as she went into the nursing  home. I found two recipes and tried the one of Mrs. O H Finch’s. They turned out pretty good. But they are quite a bit of work!! You have to melt 1 cup of sugar to pour into the cream and sugar mixture. I’m making this post to save this recipe for years to come!!

Homemade Biscuits- Joanna Gaines Recipe- Had to try my hand at these!!

Tried Joanna’s Biscuits today!! Found the recipe on Pinterest and since we we able to eat there the other day I was anxious to try to make her homemade biscuits!  They turned out really nice and  delicious!!

This recipe was given to me by a dear church friend. Evelyn Graff, she is an awesome cook.  Everything that she made and brought to Church suppers was always awesome.  She is a dear friend of my mother in law's and they still play cards and enjoy each others friendship weekly. Enjoy this recipe!!
