Your New Food Blog

I asked for your recipes and you sent them. I collected them all (I hope) and added a few of mine.
They are all on a new blogsite: http://fabufood.blogspot.com/
I tried all sorts of names for the site and url and my first 37 were already in use. I am not kidding. So I resorted to my short hand for Fabulous and went with Fabu Food.
I have not tested these recipes for flavor, accuracy or audience appeal. I am trusting that they are all tested by you the reader. One or two of them are mine and I will continue to add to the list whatever you send me. So DO SEND MORE RECIPES.
Of course they are much better if you include good pictures, which I want to add. If you make one of these recipes and have photos to share, please send them to me and I will include them in the recipe.
There are 43 recipes so far, and some are nearly the same but the differences are worth posting. For example two for Key Lime Pie, and pasta salads. All sounded superb. I didn't categorize them either, like dessert, main dish, salads, finger foods. I am sure you can figure it out. Also, I tried to include the sender's name. I hope I got those right too.
The site link will always be in my sidebar now. I hope you have some time to review the collection and send me your favorite dish for parties or just a good meal at home. I love having these recipes to keep and share.

Wow, Melody thanks for this! Love your food blog. Here is my contribution. A little something for your sis. (Bacon)

White Trash Cornbread Salad

2 (6 oz.) pkgs. corn bread mix or your own left over corn bread.
(8 c. when cooked and crumbled)
8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled OR 8 Tbles. packaged crumbled bacon bits. Kirkland or Hormel brand. (The lazy white trash cook's choice).
Place on a plate, cover with paper towel and microwave until crisp. About 1 1/2 min.
1 bunch chopped green onions
1 chopped green bell pepper
2 chopped ripe tomatoes
1 1/2 c. mayonnaise more or less
pepper to taste

Cook corn bread as directed on package or make your own. I used the Betty Crocker brand which comes in a small envelope. When bread is cool, crumble gently into salad bowl. Add bacon (crumbled if using regular bacon). Add vegetables. Stir in mayonnaise. Chill or eat warm.

Note: Don't even THINK about using a substitute for the bacon or HORRORS leaving it out! Nor do you want to use anything but real mayonnaise. We are talking white trash here. Corn bread, bacon, mayo, and sugar. (The corn bread mixes tend to be rather sweet). YUM! Submitted by Sonia, an experienced, long-time white trash cook.
