Official Taste Testers

Good Morning!
     I hope all is well with you.

 Are they adorable or what?  They love to eat but if they don't like something they definitely will not eat it!


 You may or not know that Hibiscus House had a total of three blogs.  It stemmed from my love of cooking.  I started posting all here but then the recipes were taking over so:

  Dolly is Cooking was born.


     You that are familiar with that blog already know a few things.  The recipes shared are close to my heart.  Ninety percent or more are my own recipes.  They are simple, southern, traditional recipes some handed down from generations of my family.  Each made from ingredients most of us have on hand.  

     I like the idea of being thrifty, not wasteful and making do with what you do have on hand.   Some of the best recipes come about from trying different things on hand to see how they will work.  Don't be afraid to try new things, because what is the worst that can happen?  You may lose some ingredients if it is horrible but in time you will know what will work and what won't.  Experiment!

     Guess, that I get that from my Mama "Dot".  She was quite the experimenter some worked great some were jokes and she would laugh at herself as well.  Once she made a macaroni and cheese she mixed up in her bowl she made banana pudding in..She was a character, you may not know that.  That one was a surprise after it was eaten she told family.  Actually not bad at all a little sweetness in the macaroni didn't hurt.  Funny stuff!  She really was a wonderful cook!

 COOKING BLOG NO LONGER EXISTS
RECIPES ARE NOW BEING POSTED HERE

     Cooking is close to my heart.  I just love to cook and if you love to do something it shows.  People around you just know.
