Cooking is not
something I enjoy, except for the Thanksgiving turkey and lasagna. I do like
leafing thru cowboy and old west cookbooks, mostly for material to put into my
stories. Occasionally, I find a recipe that interests me and will try it. Last
year I shared some of those recipes. Today I’m sharing recipes from Cowboy Cook Book by Bruce and Bobbi Fisher. I have not tried these, but they did catch my eye.

These sound so yummy! I'm going to print these out and try a few.
ReplyDeleteMy grandma made the applesauce cake all the time. Everyone.loved it and was requested quite often. She would make cakes up ahead and freeze them they held up well for a few months. She also made a raw apple cake made the same way just substituting small diced pieces of Apple instead of applesauce. One of my favorites was her.black walnut cake, I will try to find recipe.
ReplyDeleteHi Ladies:
ReplyDeleteSo glad you liked the recipes. Margie, I have not tried the applesauce cake. I should, but then hubby and kiddo don't have a sweet tooth and I'd end up eating the whole thin, lol.
