Crunchy Vegetable Spread & Egg Salad/Cheese Spread


I'm not so sure about the crunchy veggie spread (crunchy spread just sounds a little sketchy to me),
but I can see egg salad/cheese spread making it into our kitchen lab soon.
Especially given it's one of the few lower carb recipes I've found so far.

Yeast Bread


I think this recipe saw a lot of work in its hey day.
Nice for it to see the light of day again.

Mrs. Beck's Bread



Later in life, my granny's friend, Mrs. Beck, had a
substantial influence in her cooking.
I was often their test subject.
Being the resident grandchild in the apartment complex
my granny lived in had its definite advantages.

Raisin Pineapple Rice Pudding


The introduction of pineapple into this recipe does not offset the use of raisins.  
Clearly the love of raisins that my granny had is not shared by her grandson.

Pound Cake


Apparently mixer speed is pretty important.

Catfish


Nothing like a good catfish fry.

Salmon Puff


I swear this sounds like an off brand, "healthy" knock off of Cheetos.

This is one of those "not sure where this is going to land" recipes.

The mystery mix coming together.

Time to get this in a pan and see what bakes up.

We added some crunchy bread crumbs on top with some olive oil for some flavor and flair.

Baking this was more of a guesstimation than an exact science.

This dish baked up kinda thinner than expected.
So it's less puff and more low riding casserole.


The final result is more of a side type than a main dish.

Mods:
Added crunchy bread crumbs and olive oil.
Baking time could vary.

Final thoughts:
The jury is still out on this one.
Kiddos give a thumbs up.
I give it a half a thumb because it seems like it needs something else.
Head chef was not a fan at all.  We could make this with Tina and some other flavors which would be tastier and cheaper to make.
