MAW-MAW'S SLAW

Steps:

• Place the white cabbage, red cabbage, greens, red onions, green onions, and parsley in a large salad bowl. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, mustard, salt, black pepper, cayenne, and sugar. Mix well. Add the mixture to the greens and toss to mix thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Serve chilled. The slaw can be made three hours ahead.

MEMAW'S ROLLS

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, stir in yeast and 1 cup of warm water until the yeast dissolves. Add the other cup of water.
• Add shortning, sugar and salt. Stir vigorously and mash the lumps of shortning against the side of the bowl as you sift in the flour one cup at a time.
• Stir until the dough is firm.
• Smooth down and cover with cloth or lid - let rise until double in size ( about 1-1/2-2 hours). DO NOT GET TOO WARM OR SIT ON A HOT STOVE TOP.(I turn my oven on 250 for ONE minute, then turn it OFF -- and let them rise in the warm oven).
• When dough has doubled dump out onto a floured board or coutertop, knead lightly until you can cut or pinch into rolls.
• Place in a greased pan and let rise again, approximately 1-1/2 - 2 hours. Cook until browned, brush with butter and eat.

MEMAW'S MEATLOAF

Steps:

• preheat oven to 350.
• open cooking bag and spray inside evenly with cooking spray. Place bag inside large baking dish and set aside. (These bags can be found in the foil isle).
• dissolve bouillon cube in 1 cup hot water and set aside.
• slice onion thinly and set aside.
• place ground beef in large mixing bowl and break apart to loosen meat.
• break eggs into small mixing bowl and beat with fork until smooth.
• pour eggs on top of ground beef.
• add all of the other ingredients EXCEPT THE WATER WITH THE DISSOLVED BOUILLON CUBE.
• mix thoroughly with your hands ensuring that all ingredients are worked through the meat evenly.
• tip: You can wear latex gloves to mix your meatloaf. It helps mix all the ingredients evenly and solves the problem for those who do not like to handle raw meat.
• shape meat into a nice log shape.
• place sliced onion on top of meatloaf.
• gently slide meatloaf into the prepared cooking bag.
• pour dissolved bouillon cube mixture into the cooking bag.
• close bag with bag fastener.
• cut two small air holes on top of the bag.
• bake for approximately 1 hour.
• check meat temperature with a baking thermometer to ensure that your meatloaf is completely cooked in teh middle. Meatloaf should be golden brown on the outside.
• Let meatloaf sit for 15 minutes before slicing and serve with your favorite side dishes.

MEMAW'S COLLARD GREENS

Steps:

• Thoroughly wash greens in a sinkful of cold water.
• Break stems off an inch or two below leaf and discard.
• Tear/shred the leaves by hand and place them in a large cooking pot.
• Add bacon, 1/4 cup of sugar, and about 2 tablespoons of salt.
• Fill pot with water up to about 1 1/2 inches from top of pot.
• Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, and simmer for about 2 hours, stirring occasionally (water will cook off, so add more if necessary).
• After 2 hours, add more sugar (not more than 1/4 cup; I usually add slightly less) and more salt to taste.
• Fill the pot back to about half-full with water.
• Cover, boil, reduce heat, simmer, and stir occasionally for another 1 1/2-2 hours (if more water is needed, add only enough to keep about three fingers worth in the pot).
• Serve with a slotted spoon to drain away water and eat'em up (some folks eat'em with tabasco or pepper sauce).
• These are great as a side dish with fried chicken, country ham, meatloaf, turkey, roast, or as a companion to a big bowl of beans.
• I usually enjoy the leftovers with nothing but a pan of cornbread.

MEMAW'S CHEESE BALL
