being a man from alabama, my mom always made great food. one of my favorites was tomato gravy. we would put it on biscuits, and eat them all day.cook some bacon until crisp and drain the grease. add the grease back to the pan and add some flour to make a roux. cook for a few minutes and add one can of crushed tomatoes to the roux. heat until thick. you may have to add a little milk if you added to much flour. season it with some salt and pepper and serve it over biscuts. enjoy...we have for over 50 years in our family.
Paula Dean of the Food Network is a southern belle of cooking. Her recipes can be found on www.foodtv.com. Just a fair warning, though: almost everything is made with a stick of butter!
Old-fashioned Bread Pudding





12 slices stale or lightly toasted bread, diced





3 cups light cream





3 egg yolks, well beaten





1/3 cup sugar





1/4 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg





1/4 cup peach preserves





1/2 cup seedless raisins





Hard Sauce (see recipe)





Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place bread in a buttered 13x9x2-inch baking dish. Next, blend together cream, egg yolks, sugar, salt, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg. Add preserves and raisins; beat well and pour over the bread. Stir gently with a fork until the ingredients are well blended.

Hard Sauce:

4 tablespoons butter





1/8 teaspoon salt





2 tablespoons brandy





1/4 cup cream





1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Sift confectioners' sugar into a small bowl. In a medium bowl, beat butter until soft. Gradually add the sugar and beat until well blended and fluffy. Add remaining ingredients and beat until smooth. When sauce is very smooth, refrigerate and chill thoroughly before serving. Makes 1陆 cups.





the best thing about bread pudding is adding in any kind of fruit you want, such as peaches, instead of preserves as called for here. She doesn't normally use cinnamon or allspice in her sauce; instead she mixes up brandy, sugar and butter to spoon over her bread pudding. She likes to bake it in large muffin tins and serve it in individual dishes, rather than scooping it from one large baking
