Cookbook Clean-Out

Since we have moved and am having to “scale down” (two of my most unfavorite words in the whole world), Randy has “suggested” that maybe I might want to go through the Southern Living magazines, my Tea Time magazines, plus the Taste of Home magazines and just tear out my favorites so he could possibly sit down to watch TV at night instead of trying to sit atop of my stacks of magazines, that I just always said I would never throw out. Since I keep my magizines by seasons, I tend to pull out old ones to match the seasons, that way, it makes me continue to go through the old ones while standing and watching tv. But as we have gotten older (him, not me) we are missing having a place to sit, so hence, scaling down on the magazines. While going through a few of them each night, I have seen different recipes that I have made that became a sweet memory to us. It brought back the memory of all our adult kids and granchildren sitting around the table, after calling to request having chicken fried steak, all the while watching the grandkids sit and eat their McDonalds, while we, the adults, chomped away on chicken fried steak. Hopefully as the grandkids mature, they will realize that the CFS is so much better for you, (who are we kidding here) than the hamburger and fries from Micky D’s.
So after finding a few favorites last night, I couldn’t decide which of my two favorites to post, so am posting both of the ones I found last night. Hope they become a favorite at your house, like they have ours. First one will be Brownie Tiramisu and Country-Fried Steak with Creamy Salsa Gravy
