-Home Cookin at Ridin out the Recession
As you guys know we’ve gone through a little scare with Deb, so in this regard I thought possibly something a little healthier may be a good way to start off our recipes for you today.
Both these come from our daughter-in-law, Shelly Mae’s Church Cookbook. She’s going to hurt me if I don’t get off this “Shelly Mae” kick, but shoot….what are in-laws for??

‘Ridin Out The Recession With Dub and Deb in “Miz Judi’s Kitchen’!
Note to Readers: There are a few things that Dub doesn’t know but one thing he does know is that the word ‘Riding’ (as in Riding Out the Recession) is spelled with a ‘g’ at the end. But Dub not only walks the walk, but speaks like he is: down home, true blue, and plain speakin’ country folk.
Dub and Deb are both native Floridians, live in Central Florida, and run a small business as well. They have five children, and seven grandchildren.
Both love to cook, love to laugh, grow a garden, and generally try to “aggravate” most anyone around them basically…all in good fun, of course!
