Gearing up for St. Patrick's Day

Here's a couple of recipes for St. Patrick's Day, New Potatoes and Cabbage and Potato Soup. I think these are hilarious, because Ella Lea fit two recipes on one recipe card and she reused a recipe card. Apparently the recipe that's covered up wasn't fit to be kept. Enjoy!

If I had any idea about the source of these recipes, I would include it. We found recipes that dated as far back as 1954. My intention is to list the source, if I can deduce it. If you know where it came from, feel free to share. 

Broccoli Casserole

Everyone loves this dish and it is perfect for a Sunday dinner, take for lunch on Monday recipe. Have a great week. Aunt Ella Lea wrote "coppers August 30 88". I wish I knew whether that's where she got the recipe. 

One way to modernize this recipe, might be to use fake bacon or brown rice. Even with the variations it will be delish.

Quick Blackberry Cobbler

No idea why this recipe is on a scrap of paper labeled, Disability Insurance. She wrote down this recipe on a slip of paper with the idea that nothing should go to waste. This is a blackberry cobbler recipe that can be made with Bisquick and the microwave. I never knew her to use Bisquick, but I'm going to try it. She was famous for her cobbler recipe and her crust was always from scratch. I'm curious to know how this recipe made it in there. But maybe one of her great-great nieces and nephews will consider trying this recipe in their college kitchens. Let me know what happens. Enjoy!
