Any of my long-time readers know that cherished family recipes are always my favorite! Most of the classic dishes that I have shared here come from Aunt Bee -- my grandmother’s best friend and my mom’s Godmother.
When I was growing up, Aunt Bee lived nearby and was a regular part of our family. She played dress up with me as a child (I still remember “decorating” her with my plastic Pop Beads), she took care of our dogs when we went out of town, and she regularly hosted our family and friends for meals in her own home.
Aunt Bee is now 94 years old, but she hasn’t aged a bit. I adore this amazing woman, who I think of as my own “Fairy Godmother!” Now that she lives in North Carolina, we have a regular ongoing correspondence in which we share recent news with each other, I send her photos, and she sends me some of her favorite recipes.
She even ships me little care packages with some of her antique cookbooks, children’s stories, and other seasonal holiday treasures (some dating back as early as the 1920’s!). For a history major like myself, these are true gems!
And you know what’s really cool? Aunt Bee is even on the internet, reading this blog, and sending me e-mails! She has been a wonderful link to our family’s past and has shared stories with me about my grandmother that I would have otherwise never known. She is a true blessing in my life!
When the folks at Jimmy Dean told me about their "Family Table" website, I knew that I would love to participate as a contributor. The best stories happen when the entire family is gathered together around the table enjoying a delicious meal, and Jimmy Dean roll sausage is such a great way to spice up the typical weekday dinner routine.
With the Family Table program, Jimmy Dean has pulled together a variety of recipes (like this one) from everyday main dishes for lunch or dinner, to appetizers and sides as well. Best of all, these recipes all have a personal family story behind them -- making the food extra special.
