Glad to be here, I think this is a great site and wish I had it when I was raising my children.  My Mom gave me my first Betty Crocker

cook book when my daughter was born in 1960.  She said you will need this & she was right .  I wore it out !  My cooking belongs in the south my grandmother taught me to cook, she was the best soulfood cooker but my stepfather was the best overall cook I have ever met.  He had a blueberry 6 layer cake to die for & I can't  find the recipe in any of his books. A box cake just dosent compare.

Hi...I am new to this and my name is Vangie...I am glad to get some different recipies and get the reviews so I could see if I want to make the dish.  Times are hard right now, and eating out is far but few, and I think that a variety of dishes is what I need.  I want to be able to make new things.

WHEN I USE BOX CAKES I USE BAKING SODA ,MILK INSTEAD WATER ETC. CAN U GIVE MY SOME OF YOUR SOUL FOOD RECIPES START ME OFF EASY. THANK YOU.

My mom used to cook out of the same book when I was a kid...she wore her's out too. I wish I could find one like it. I always loved the food she cooked from that book.

Im really new to this message board.  I really love to try new recipes too. I never heard of a 6 layer blueberry cake. It sounds really good. Im so sorry you cant find the recipe. anytime you want to share a recipe please let me know. I dont know how this works. do I just come back here to this web site?     thanks Bren

thank you   alot  what love

Hi, My name is Helen.  I love to try new recipes. 

Hi, my name is joy, I have just registered here. I can cook, but I am wanting to find new receipes to try. Hello helen! I am new here and I wanted to ask a question. I want to make my husband a cherry pie, but all I have is a 8" pie pan and it has holes in the bottom. Would this work for a pie if I put this pie pan on a oven save plate or do you reccomend not to use it at all?

If you ask me, Helen, I would say invest in a new pie pan.  They're very inexpensive and you can even buy disposable ones at the grocery store.  I always use disposable pie tins when I make pies for my neighbors.  I bake a lot of different pies based on the season or if I come across a new recipe or just want to try out something new.  I try out all my new recipes on the neighbors so disposable pie tins have been a God send.

you can use the pie pan just put it on a cookie sheet it will cook the same

i am a cook at a resturant i am always willing to lend ideas and help with some cooking questions feel free to ask

Hello all!!! I coming to you from Houston, Texas. Just wondered if anyone has tried making the Chili Chicken and Cornmeal Dumplings? I am having my family over (9 adults and 2 small kids), the recipe on this website feeds 8. Any suggestions on how I could make enough for everyone?

Welcome, mardimacmoo!  The recipe says it serves 6, so I would just double the recipe.

2 cups cut-up cooked chicken
1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce

1 1/2 cups Original Bisquick® or Bisquick Heart Smart® mix
1/2 cup cornmeal
