Press Release posted 5\/6\/12 –<\/em> The answer is easy if you have your own copy of the Civic Club\u2019s Cookbook \u201cRecipes We Proudly Share\u201d.<\/p>\n

Every delicious recipe is a time-tested, family-approved dish of love passed from friend to friend, family to family and generation to generation. The test kitchens were those of grandmas and aunties, friends and neighbors and are included in this collection because they are requested repeatedly at celebrations, holidays, and gatherings.<\/p>\n

For example there\u2019s Grandma\u2019s Chicken Casserole contributed by Jeanne Peterson. According to Jeanne, \u201cVirginia \u2018Grandma\u2019 Peterson\u2019s family is a direct descendent of the Mayflower and\u2026her family settled in Sierra Madre 70 years ago. According to Grandma, this recipe is about 80 years old\u2026.This recipe is always a hit with kids\u2026It\u2019s really good!\u201d<\/p>\n

For an easy BBQ recipe try the Bourbon Glazed Salmon submitted by Gail-Ann Skiles. Made with Alaskan wild salmon, marinated in a blend of lime juice, bourbon, brown sugar,\u00a0 ginger and other savory seasonings, grilled up and then topped with sesame seeds, tomatoes and onion, she says, \u201cOne of our favorites – great for entertaining.\u201d<\/p>\n

Or serve up some award winning 5-Alarm Texas Red Chili submitted by Amy Putnam. Elmer Dills picked this as his favorite at the 2006 Sierra Madre Chili Cook-off. \u201cI used Taylor\u2019s meat, Miller High Life because it was the only beer in cans in Billy\u2019s Bottle Shop\u2019s cooler. I used conventional chili powder but I added unadulterated New Mexico red chili powder.\u201d\u00a0 Stand by to sound the alarms!<\/p>\n

Comfort food abounds in this book, both in taste and memories. Linda Wochnik contributed her recipe called Mom\u2019s Spaghetti Sauce, an easy, from-scratch sauce that brings back tasty times. \u201cMom\u2019s spaghetti sauce was delicious \u2013 only to be matched by the tantalizing aroma while it was cooking.\u201d<\/p>\n

There\u2019s Tagliarini, a casserole dish of ground beef, noodles, vegetables and cheese added by Sue Quinn. \u201cThis was a favorite of my aunt, Alice Jones, and I enjoyed it many times at her home on Orange Grove.\u201d<\/p>\n

Is crunch what you want? Gloria Giersbach\u2019s Killer Coleslaw will fill the bill with a blend of crunchy cabbage, apple, pineapple, cranberries and a handful of sunflower seeds, pine nuts or walnuts, sure to satisfy. Gloria notes \u201cThis is a favorite that is served during family reunions in Vancouver BC each visit.\u201d<\/p>\n
