Drizzle over popcorn until lightly coated.

Grandma Bowden's Fairy Biscuits
These are the best rolls ever made. At least that is what I always thought whenever we would be at grandma's and she would make them. I looked forward to Thanksgiving dinner at Grandma Bowden's especially because of these rolls. There may be better recipes out there, but nothing beats a memory...especially a childhood one. These really are good though...I promise!
Fairy Biscuits
2 cups hot water
1 cup shortening or butter
2 tbls. yeast
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. baking powder
1-2 tsp. salt
6 1/2 cups flour
In a large mixing bowl, pour hot water over shortening or butter. Let it cool to lukewarm, then add yeast, sugar, eggs and beat together. Add the rest of the ingredients. Let dough rise 20-25 minutes in a warm place. Pull off hunks of dough and form into rolls. Pplace on a greased baking sheet and let rise 15-20 minutes. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes.

Sweet Potato Casserole
This is the best side dish for Thanksgiving or Christmas! I know it's the wrong time of year, but I can never find this recipe when the time comes around to make it, and I just found it, so I thought I better post it before I lose it again!
Again, I got this tasty recipe from my sister-in-law Marlene who was living in Alabama at the time. Therefore, I consider this dish to be "southern". I do think she got it from a southern friend. Anyway...this is one of those things that really almost tastes like it could be dessert. Yum!
Sweet Potato Casserole
6-8 cups sweet potatoes, cooked and mashed (about 7-8 large potatoes)
4 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup milk
2 tsp. vanilla
2 1/2 cups sugar
2 sticks butter or margarine
Mix together and place in 9x13 baking dish.
Mix: 1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cups chopped pecans
1/4 cup flour
Sprinkle over the top of casserole and bake at 325 degrees for 25 minutes.
*** My SIL's notes:
I used 6 potatoes and halved the rest of the recipe to make it not so sweet. I also added some cinnamon, and a sprinkle of cloves.
When I have made this, I also try to half the rest of the recipe...especially the sugar! And it still turns out awesome!

Country Style chocolate Chip Cookies
I found a binder recently that happened to have some very yummy recipes I had saved. This recipe was actually handwritten on an entire piece of computer paper in pencil by me! I bet I was like 10 years old or something when I wrote it down.I have no idea where i even got the recipe from. I am not sure I ever made them, but they sound really good, so you better believe I will be making these the next chance I get!
Country Style Chocolate Chip Cookies
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Cream together until smooth:
1 cup softened butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 cups white sugar
Add:
1 Tbls. milk
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
Beat and add:
2 eggs
Stir in:
1 cup fresh corn flakes, crumbled
3 cups oatmeal
Sift together:
* or to taste
1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/4 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. mace*
1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon*
1/4 tsp. nutmeg*
1/8 tsp. powdered cloves*
Stir in:
4 oz. coconut
1 pkg. chocolate chips
1 cup walnuts
Drop batter by well rounded teaspoon onto greased cookie sheets. Bake 10 minutes at 350 degrees. makes about 8 dozen.
Again, this sounds like a very loaded, very yummy cookie. I look forward to trying it! I am sure you could substitute many of the ingredients as well, like pecans instead of walnuts, raisins instead of chocolate chips, or different flavor chips or baking pieces, no coconut, and maybe even a different type of flake cereal? The possibilities are endless.

Teriyaki Chicken and Strawberry Salad
This recipe is so yummy! My mom made it for me when she came to stay after Logan was born. I think I have only made it once since then. I actually misplaced the recipe, and just found it! I am totally going to have to make this soon!
** This recipe is made using ingredients from Sam's Club, so think large quantities! Just adjust accordingly to the size you need.
Teriyaki Chicken and Strawberry Salad
1 large bag salad greens
Teriyaki chicken strips (about 13)
2 baskets strawberries, quartered
1 1/2 cups walnuts, chopped
1 1/2-2 cups sun-dried tomato basil feta cheese
1 1/2 red onions, sliced thin
Virginia Brand Vidalia Onion Vinaigrette (1 1/2-2 cups)
Mix all ingredients together, and serve! If you aren't going to eat it all at once, serve the dressing on the side.
** I would probably cut up the chicken into bite sized pieces to make it easier to eat.
** if you can't find tomato basil feta, just use regular feta.
Enjoy!
