I had been adding recipes for a while to a new cookbook so I could find them when I wanted to cook them. In the electronic age, a digital version seems to make more sense, since I can add, amend, advise, adjust, delete, and reconsider as often as I want to and you can access them if and when you please. I've included the recipes from both my original cookbook which many of you have, and additional accumulated recipes that never got published. This isn’t the latest thing or nouvelle cuisine. These recipes are comfort food, good memories, treasured family recipes, and occasional treats as well as many healthier recipes I've grown to like in recent years. I encourage you to add comments, pictures, and favorite recipes to make this a real family cooking spot. It's the next best thing to sharing a meal.

Sugared Peanuts

2 cups raw peanuts with skins
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup water

Dissolve sugar in water on medium heat; add nuts.  Stir together and cook on medium heat until all syrup is gone and mixture starts to sugar up.  Pour out onto ungreased cookie sheet.  Spread so nuts separate.  Bake at 300 degrees about 30 minutes.  Stir every 5 minutes.

This is a recipe I got from a neighbor at St. George Island.  The nuts are really good, so I bought 10 pounds of raw peanuts to make for Christmas presents.  Then I couldn't find the recipe,  which showed up in plain sight after Christmas.  What I didn't count on was how much one recipe turned out to be.  The peanuts seemed to grow!  I think we still have some of the raw peanuts in the freezer.
