Holiday Bourbon Balls ! Irish Whiskey or Rum
This one packs a punch ...... Oh, why not!
I would also make these with Irish Whiskey or Rum.
Make at least a week in advance so the Bourbon has a chance to...... mellow!
They're No Bake so they are less time consuming.
3 C crushed Vanilla Wafers.
1 C finely chopped Pecans ...... roasted if you prefer and have the time.
1 C Powdered Sugar
1 1/2 TBS Cocoa Powder .... You know what I say about the Cocoa Powder, don't skimp on this ingredient, nothing but the best. I now use Hershey's Special Dark.
2 TBS Lyle's Golden Syrup
1/2 C Irish Whiskey ... again, the best you can afford.
Powdered Sugar for rolling the cookies at the end.
Combine, in a medium bowl:
Wafers
Pecans
Powdered Sugar
Cocoa Powder
Stir in the Lyle's Golden Syrup and Irish Whiskey
Use a small cookie scoop to form 1" balls.
Roll them in Powdered Sugar
Enjoy!

Squash A-La- Bama !
Dallas, Texas 2002
I've always said that I could write a cookbook about Corn recipes. I could also write one about Squash.
This is one of my Best of the Best Recipes.
It was shared with me by my very close friend Roger.
Roger was raised in Alabama and this recipe comes from one of his family friends.
We deemed it A-La Bama.... because I have such a connection to France and French Cuisine and Roger and the recipe is from Alabama...... !
Squash A-La-Bama!
1 LB. Yellow Summer Squash ( about 3 medium)
4 TBS stick of Butter, melted
1 Egg, beaten
1/2 C Mayonnaise
2 TBS chopped Onion
2 TBS chopped Green Pepper
2TBS chopped Celery
1 small jar of Pimientos
2 C grated Cheddar Cheese ( hold 1 C for the topping)
1/2 Sleeve of Saltine Crackers, crushed
Or: I have created it with a 10 oz. package of Birdseye Frozen Season Blend ( Onion,Peppers and Celery) and omit the pimientos.
Slice, boil and drain the Squash.
Mix all other ingredients with the Squash.
Bake in a 2 QT. buttered Casserole Dish, uncovered. No Vegetable Spray for this one.
350 degrees for 30 minutes.
Cover the top with the 1 cup of cheese and return for 5 minutes, uncovered.
Enjoy!

I'm paying homage to some of my favorite people.
Dan Dan was Taylor Mosher's Grandmother, she was one of my favorite people in the world!
This recipe has a Texas history, too complicated to blog about, but it's a family story!
This recipe was a family staple whenever we visited Dan Dan!
You can tell it's a family recipe by the way it's written.
It's absolutely one of my Best of the Best recipes.
Here it is in it's original format!
Saute an onion in 2 TBS oil.
Add 1/4 C. water, a couple of cloves, minced garlic, 1 large can of diced green chiles.
Cook 1 minute to soften the garlic & chiles.
Add a couple of small chopped tomatoes.
Grate a package of Jack Cheese.
Melt it into the mixture, stirring constantly.
Just before serving, add a little canned milk, don't boil!
Serve with your favorite Tortilla Chips.
