Willodean Webb has green thumb and a white thumb too!
A green thumber has a talent for growing plants and flowers; a white thumber has a talent for making good food. I know one lady that's a two thumber...the green and white one. She works in the garden section of Wal-Mart in Thomasville. She periodically tells me how and where to plant the plants I buy (that are supposed to grow, even though they all die). I envy anyone who can actually keep green plants growing. Dean says if I'd water them there's a real good chance they'll live. But I water and talk to the plants and they still die. They must not like what I say! But not because Willodean Webb doesn't try her best to teach me how to care for the plants. Willodean also loves to cook. Elizabeth Barnes and Chris Barnes, Elizabeth's grandson, dropped by Willodean's house the other day when she had made a pizza casserole. I hear they all enjoyed the goodies. I can't wait to try some of her recipes. She makes my mouth water talking about them at the Clarke Prep football games. I'm gonna make the pizza casserole on Halloween night. It looks like a new comfort food to add to my other favorites. And it looks easy! Deep Dish Pizza Casserole 1 pkg shells and cheese dinner 1 lb. ground beef 1 medium green pepper, chopped 1 small onion, chopped 1 (8 oz) can pizza sauce 1/2 c mozzarella cheese Prepare dinner as directed. Brown meat, drain. Saute bell pepper and onion and add to meat along with the pizza sauce. Pour shells and cheese into 2 qt. baking dish. Top with meat mixture then cover with the cheese. Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes. Squash Dressing 2 c cooked squash 2 c cornbread, crumbled 1 can cream of chicken soup 1 medium onion, chopped 1 stick melted margarine Mix all ingredients; salt and pepper to taste. Bake 30 minutes at 350 degrees. Stuffed Sweet Potatoes 4 small sweet potatoes baked at 350 degrees until tender 1/4 c firmly packed light brown sugar 3 T light sour cream 1 tsp grated orange rind 1 T fresh orange juice 2 T butter 1 T pumpkin pie spice 2 T chopped, toasted pecans
Cut a strip from top of potatoes and carefully scoop out pulp, leaving enough to keep shells firm. Mix pulp, brown sugar and next 5 ingredients and spoon into shells. Bake shells for 10 minutes at 350 degrees then top with chopped toasted pecans.
