Celebrities Favorite's Weird Candy Trivia. Growing Candy.
During the summer the side dished changed to fresh salads, sliced tomatoes with salt and pepper, some onions and cucumbers soaking in a vinegar dressing, but there was always mashed potatoes and fried chicken.
Along with that crispy crunchy chicken was her gravy. It was awesome, made with the left over dripping of the fried chicken.
I inherited my mom's recipe boxes and thus begun a collection of little tin recipe boxes, the ones that use to sit on top of ovens in every kitchen in America.
I am sharing these handwritten recipes with you, adding as I find more. Since this is a hobby, I can only afford to buy so many recipes at a time. Gravy recipes do not seem to come my way. Perhaps, it was just a recipe every mom knew back then.
I only know one, the one my mom fixed with Sunday dinner. After frying the chicken, she would leave some grease, chicken drippings and little crunchies in the old iron skillet. Then she would add flour, milk, salt and pepper, stirring all the time. That's it. My mom's chicken gravy. Gesh, I miss her cooking. No one cooks like your mom and that is a fact!
As far as recipes on this page go, I add them when discovered. If your mom had a favorite and you would like it included here, just send an email!
