Homemade Pimento Cheese and Homemade Chicken Salad are the favorite salad to make sandwiches. Pick out a favorite bread, and you can have the perfect sandwiches for any gathering.

Chinese Style Chop Suey {Granny's Recipe}
Chop Suey is a Chinese dish consisting of meats (often chicken, fish, beef, shrimp or pork), cooked quickly with vegetables such as bean sprouts , cabbage , and celery and bound in a starch-thickened sauce. It is typically served with rice but can become the Chinese-American form of chow mien with the addition of stir-fried noodles. This is a recipe that my mother used to make me when I was a young girl. I remember it was the first time I knew anything about what Chinese food might taste like, not that this is an authentic Chinese dish, but for me, back in the 60's it was as close as I was going to get to authentic Chinese food. The closest Chinese restaurant was 150 miles away. The Soy Sauce we used with it was probably the only authentic taste I really experienced. I remember my mother would make this when the round steak was on sale at the grocery store. I think back then as it is today, it was one of the less expensive cuts of steak that was available
