TEXAS: Keep These Foods Out Of Your Garbage Disposal

(Mix 93-1)  This upcoming holiday season, kitchens around East Texas will come alive with all kinds of activities as families and friends gather to celebrate Thanksgiving, Christmas, and more. With all the gatherings and parties coming up, a lot of food is going to be prepared with some scraps left over.

Holiday Cooking Memories That Stick With Us

I can remember helping my grandmother prepare the Thanksgiving feast for our family and extended family days before the big event in Blooming Grove, Texas. We would be in her kitchen slicing celery, dicing onions, toasting bread, cracking eggs, and so much more to create her wonderful dressing for the turkey. I wish I had paid closer attention to her 'measurements', so that I could recreate her masterpiece. Unfortunately, she passed and so did her wonderful recipe.

In addition to creating the turkey and sides, there are desserts! I have a serious sweet tooth. Especially my late grandfather's pecan pies. What is it about our grandparents' cooking? If you're reading this and still have grandparents who are wonderful chefs, soak in their knowledge and get their recipes!
