Setting a September Table

Priscilla Miller’s chili

My mom‘s chili had hamburger and beans and was easy to throw together, but it really hit the spot on a snowy Wyoming day

Mom’s go to recipe, Whenever she wanted to please people at a potluck or at home she made these. They didn’t always come out of the pan in perfect squares and yet as soon as one person tried them, they would be so vocal in their praise that they would disappear like magic. Back before box mixes were a thing.

This recipe came from extended family,
My Dad’s brother in law had a sister who treated me like family and when we went from Wyoming to Pennsylvania for summer visits she would invite me over for lessons in how to cook. These pretzels and chicken paprikas and rye bread were my favorite Margie memories. 

 

Never Fail Pie Crust

 I love this recipe from an old Church of God cookbook from Cody, Wyoming.  My mom and grandma and great grandma worked on when I was tiny. This was from one of the ladies who was kind to children but one of the elderly ones even then. #sept-the-table

Thank you for the many delicious pies. Hulda Downer

Sept-the-table. Lemon Pudding

This one is an impulse challenge born out of spending my Labor Day weekend canning blackberry jam and baking and processing the abundance of fruit we have along with looking through my mom’s and grandma’s and great grandmother’s old recipes 

I love my own watercolor a day challenge so I’m going to combine it with my desire to organize my favorite recipes. But if you wanted to take photos of your own creations or of the process or the old tools of the kitchen, and add in recipes that could be amazing too

So my challenge is going to be tagged Sept-the-table

And I’d love to see some others play along.
