My Mom's Spinach Salad

Here is my Mom's spinach salad recipe.

As you can see, it is a well seasoned treasure! I found it tucked inside her main cookbook which was a Betty Crocker with a ring binding. The cookbook had a red and tan cloth front with factoids printed on the inside covers. I distinctly remember this salad being served while I growing up - it was the introduction of Bacos and an alternative to the only salad we'd ever known as kids - ICEBERG!

Welcome to Food Historian

Foodhistorian.com was established in Fall 2008 as a fun, self-directed project combining of three of my favorite things:

1. engaging technology,
2. hands-on learning, and
3. cooking/food.

I hope it delights and entertains you and leads to some top notch cookery in your very own kitchen.

I also hope that it encourages you to become your own, self-appointed family food historian on a mission to capture your own recipes, memories, traditions and history - all surrounding great food.

Peanut Brittle

Makes about 2 pounds (approximately 12 servings)

My friend Catherine lives in Virginia with her two little white Westies and for Christmas, I received a giant 2+ pound tub of REAL VIRGINIA HOME-COOKED GOURMET SALTED PEANUTS from them - HO HO HO! No additives, no preservatives - just pure, make in the USA peanuts flavored with nothing but salt and cooked in canola oil. They are the freshest, crunchiest, biggest peanuts EVER. You can order from http://www.vapeanuts.com and you'll love 'em! They make the perfect gift for someone like me - someone who has just about everything - except peanuts.
