Patsy asked about making health food into heart stopping food. Saturday morning I took heart healthy strawberries (see the heart healthy logo), put them on pancakes along with butter, sour cream, Mrs. Butterworths syrup and cookwhip. They were really good. We were raised poor, but we had rich food. Real cream, real butter, whole milk, lots of fat back pork. Remember Mama's homemade syrup made with real cream and sugar. For breakfast she sometimes fixed fresh biscuits and gravy, oatmeal, and homemade hot cocoa all at one meal. I do not like any diet food.

I have made that syrup when we were out of syrup when the girls were growing up. My girls loved it
and I did not have cream so I guess I used milk with some pet milk in it. Larry had never heard of such...but now, his family ate chocolate gravy and I had never heard of it. Now, I fix it for the girls. It's chocolate pudding on butter biscuits. The gravy has not eggs though.
Another thing his family ate was poke salad so I fix it. It must be smoothered in bacon grease to be good. He had never heard of putting white gravy on sliced vine ripe tomatoes...Oh, they are so good.
I guess all families eat a little different. I hate the smell of pet milk and Larry loved it on oatmeal and in his coffee when we married. i have broke him of putting it in his coffee. but if we have cooked white rice or oatmeal he wants canned milk. Guess they did not have cream like we did.
Remember Mom's stack cakes with strawberries. it was pie crust stacked up with strawberries inbetween each layer. His family had never heard of such. But I have not had it since Mom mad it. It is so delicous, but lots of work. She made it for 10 or 12 of us.
Remember picking the wild strawberries below the pond. Boy, they were good.
Remember how Mom would scrape the new potatoes and roll them in cornmeal and then fry them. Oh, if I could have some now.
By the way, I am having a lettuce salad. So life is different. I need to lose wt. now. I am hoping this summer I can take wt. off not put it on.
Laura made a home made red velvet cake for Eric's birthday. it is several layers with cream cheese icing between each one.
Mama did not use any recipes but she could really cook great. her biscuits were the best I have ever eaten. Mind could be used to throw at rabbits to get them out of the garden.
Happy day!
i made syrup for my kids when they had pan cakes. i boiled sugar and water and added maple flavoring. i make buscits better than mama. ha.
i don't think it's healthy to leave your sour cream and butter and cool whip out on the counter. especially when it's hot outside. why would you but sour cream on all of that ?? i like sour cream but not on my pancakes. and i don't think pancakes look good with strawberries on them.
i don't remember you making syrup. i guess you need to make it again sometime and teach me how. i make my bicuits from bisquick's most of the time. that stack cake sounds good. i'll have to experiment.
Erin did you notice it is fat free sour cream? what is cream? the fat of milk!so how can you have fat free?beside she was just leaving it out to show us how rich she is right after she took the pictures she hides it in fridg. from poor ole george.
The syrup was a lot of trouble...to boil and boil. I think I only made it when we did not have anything else to eat.
How in the world Mama could take nothing and fix a meal to feed us all is beyond me. I could never do it.
I am glad Patsy can make good biscuits. I will come up and try some...in the future.
i like fat free sour cream. i go through one of those tubs that are in the picture in at least a week. i try to keep 3 in my fridge at a time. that's why i use fat free -- cause i eat so much of it!
the pancakes look delicious. I don't remember mom making homemade syrup either. I don't like maple syrup. Daddy likes his biscuits with butter and sorgum.
Erin, Aunt Thelma said we should not eat processed sour cream. She said it was just chemicals, not cream. I looked on the package, it says it is made from fat free milk, food starch, gelatin, whey and a bunch of chemicals.
Have you ever read the ingredients in cool whip? It is made from the same stuff as gasoline. Well, not really, but just about as bad.
I always use both sour cream and butter on my pancakes. But I don't eat them very often. I also like strawberries on pancakes. It is like straberry short cake with syrup. Usually I have oatmeal with splenda and low fat milk for breakfast.
I put the sour cream and stuff back in the frig after I took the pic. But it is already soured, what more could happened to it if you leave it out. If you leave that spreadable margarine in the tubs sitting out till it gets warm, you will find it is about half water. But then the water is proabably the good thing about margarine. Sometimes I do leave things out on the counter that are supposed to be refrigerated. I have a laid back approach to a lot of things.
I have a recipe for how to recover stunk venison. Does anyone want it?
I rember a time mom made taco saled and the sour cream had a little green stuff in it she mixed it up and eat it but I didnt...she said it tasted good but I didnt beleave her ....
I have made that whitw syrp for my kids a lot. Kris always waants me to make it and Bill loves it too, but it is more trouble than Butterworths!
