By no means am I financially wealthy, but I am wealthy in spirit, able to share the little I have with others in need."
A long time ago l, started a Sunday Supper initiative.
Throughout the week I would come in contact with people that were facing the storms of life such as losing a loved one, sickness, losing a job, birth of a child, surgery, divorce, depression,birthday ,etc
As I said , I'm not feeling the best but sweet and kind people still need a decent meal. I budget carefully and look for sales because I am a school teacher
So I got up around 4 am this morning and started cooking early. I did it early because I was not feeling as bad at the moment and now I can rest all day finally. Cooking does relax me though
This is the food I made
Smoked Meatloaf
Turkey Necks
Fried Chicken
Pasta Bake
Stuffed Bell Peppers
Butter Beans
Sweet Potatoes
Cabbage Greens & Mixed Greens
Homemade Mac and Cheese Stuffed Bell Peppers
Honey Butter Cornbread Muffin

Reuben sandwiches, tater tots, broccoli, and strawberries. Coming up, Baskin Robbins chocolate-fudge-Oreo-Reese’s peanut butter ice cream cake.
I needed more bread than just one loaf of the marble rye, but I didn’t want a whole second loaf. DO YOU SEE WHAT I FOUND?!?!! Cheesecake Factory sandwich bread!!!!! Four of the Reuben’s got made with this.
Also, I usually make homemade Russian dressing, but I’ve been under the weather so I bought Ken’s Russian dressing. It was absolutely delicious ❤️.

Not sure what you call it, but my stepmother made this dessert for years. I surprised my dad with some.
Cottage Cheese
Jello (flavor is your choice)
Whip cream
Crushed drained pineapple
Mix all together serve or chille more and serve.

Peach Cobbler:

Melt a stick of butter in a pan (I use a 10
cast iron skillet) mix 1 cup self rising flour, 1 cup sugar and 3/4 cup milk pour in the skillet on top of butter do not stir, add fruit, I used 1 large can of peaches drained for this one, bake at 375° for 45 minutes my mom called it "Lazy day Cobbler" you can use 2 regular cans of any kinda pie filling for this 🙂

This doesn’t look very good, but lemme tell ya it’s delicious! & so so simple.. My mom taught me to remember A cup, A cup, A cup… which means 1 cup Sugar, 1 cup Flour, & 1 cup Milk. Mix together & add your favorite fruit (I added a can of peaches) for the best cobbler you’ll ever eat in your life!! Top with cinnamon & sugar half way through baking. Bake on 300 degrees for 35 min. Yummy! 😋❤️🥧 Southwest Arkansas

Edited: use self rising flour & drain juice from canned peaches.

My grandmother (Mom's mom) was from Hazard, Kentucky and my Mom remembers her fixing some Appalachian recipes when they were growing up in Norfolk, Virginia. I'm trying to keep our Appalachian heritage alive by fixing some of her recipes and other Appalachian recipes. I live in Israel now, which has its own traditional foods and culinary wonders, but I'm doing a lot of mountain cooking. Here is some cornbread I baked a few days ago in the cast iron skillet I bought in Asheville, North Carolina before I moved. I can't find white cornmeal here, so I used masa that I bought from a Mexican restaurant in Jerusalem. Turned out just fine!
