Panhandle Barbecue Sauce
A well-balanced, all-purpose barbecue sauce that will give even oven-cooked meats a rich barbecue flavor. It’s mellow , reddish brown in color, smooth in consistency and much better than the bottled variety.

Chocolate Crinkle Cookies

Sugar Cookies
This is a very basic recipe used for cut-out cookies. It’s probably 100 years old but my version comes from a cook book I got for a wedding gift in 1962. Chilling the dough is the big secret to cut out cookies. Some people roll it out on a cookie sheet, cut out your cookies…
French-Style Potatoes
For some reason these potatoes earned the name ‘hard potatoes’ in our family. I guess to a bunch of little boys that was the way you compared them to baked or mashed. I call them terrific, easy, and they can be dipped in ketchup when eating, another reason why they were a favorite of the…
