This was always my mom's go to cornbread.  It makes 2 9x13 pans.  Great for chili parties.  I am not sure of the original source.  I have a typed copy.

Cabbage Salad

I remember having this at barbeques/parties.  I made it this year when I received a cabbage from my CSA.  It is easy and delicious.  I am not sure of the original source as I have a typewritten copy.

Vidalia Onion Casserole

I remember a block party on Somerset Lane in Foster City when I was probably around 8 years old.  I asked my mom what she was going to bring and she said Onion Casserole.  I was so upset as I always looked forward to her food but this just sounded disgusting.  I tasted it and was so surprised that this was so tasty.  It was my first experience with cooked onions as well as Vidalia (sweet) onions.  This recipe is hand written and I cannot place the handwriting (not my mom's or grandma's) so I'm not sure of its origin.  It is simple and delicious.

Ingredients:
5 onions (Vidalia) chopped
1 stick oleo (I've used 1 stick of butter and it tastes great).
1 cup grated parmesan cheese.
20 Ritz crackers

Directions:
Saute onions in 1 stick oleo/butter. Cool.  Add 1 cup grated parmesan cheese, 14 crushed Ritz crackers and mix.  Place in a dish and crumble 6 more Ritz crackers on top.  Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

Potatoes O'Brien Casserole

This recipe has probably been the most requested of all of the brunch recipes.  My mom held a flight attendant brunch every Christmas.  I will try to scan some photos.  These potatoes are easy and delicious.  I'm not sure where the original recipe came from.  This was handwritten from what my mom verbally told me over the phone.
