Mutiny..I fear mutiny RECIPE IS UP!

[Southern by choice]

We have a huge issue here.

STRAW and several of my family members are freaking out....

I was scaling down a recipe for be able to put here on BYH. It is a favorite. I make this for church functions, get togethers, meals for new mommies, death in the family etc. you get my point. I am always asked for the recipe but it is all made from scratch and in LARGE amounts, so I never know how to scale it down. Tonight I measured and weighed everything for just one 9x13 baking dish, more of what an average family would make. My DD took pics for a pictorial....

Someone finally asked, "why are you taking picture of the food?" I told them I was putting it on BYH. OH MY>>>>> You would have thought I had just shot Callie or something, then the rest of em started.NOOOOOOOO you can't that is a family recipe.
They are being ridiculous... Straw reminded me I don't have a level of membership to take a poll... then all the people( crying now) said they would go in on BYH take it off and change my password! They know I'm computer illiterate!

So what do you think! I think you all would love this recipe!!!! I want to share. I think I will un-invite Straw to dinner!! HE ALWAYS shows up for this! They want to take a vote at dinner.

PM it to people who want it. Would your family go for that? Then it's not public but people who are interested in it have the recipe to try.

What recipe is it anyway? I'm curious.

Yes, I think its up to YOU to share it or not. I've never understood 'family secrets' > One day the family WILL die off, or the last person who knows it will die, then a wonderful recipe is lost. And its not like people are going to start up a buisness and make money off it, and if you tell it to people IN PERSON, (or even on a place like this), big companies aren't gonna copy it (plus, even big-company copied recipes don't taste as good as homemade.... ), and even so, why is it SUCH A HORRIBLE THING to tell others? I just don't understand.

OK.. sounds boring but it is sooo good!

Broccoli/Cheese/Chicken casserole

Yes it sounds boring, I know, but it has been a fav for so many people.

CBL- you are so right, I reminded the family that it was someone else that gave me the original recipe 20 years ago. Of course then they say yeah but you changed it soo much, its not the same. They say there are just a few that should stay in the family

I mean really.... it's just a flippin recipe.... I don't get it. Maybe someone can enlighten me as to why all my teens and Straw too are really upset about this????? To me this is just stupid!

I like sharing recipes, modifying them etc. it's fun. I love to cook for my crew, the important thing is always the love you put into it!
People can laugh at that but it is so true. The kids always ask, mom why is it everything you make is soo good and it s not the same when Grandma or daddy makes it? I always say it cuz when I'm cookin I'm smilin and taking great care, and I put a lot of love into my food to feed all my babies! It makes me so happy to see them laugh, smile and just enjoy. Whether it a meal or cookies!

Tell them we are just extended family And life is too short not to take every opportunity we can to share a experience with others. I could use a good broccoli/chicken recipe because my kids adore both---you all would not believe how much broccoli we go through each week.

Sorry guys. It's been determined that she will not be putting it on the forum. I think we could work something out to where she could PM it to a few of you (at my discretion).

 

[bonbean01]

Straw...at YOUR discretion????



Southern...I'm with you...always modify and share recipes...hey...it's called spreading the goodness around...a mutiny...wow...Straw may be related to my Grandmother...she would share a family recipe and leave out the most important ingredients so that hers was always the best

I'm always looking for good chicken recipes since I have so many in the freezer and I also carry meals to Church functions and when there is a death or illness in a family around here...please pm it to me...I won't tell a soul

 

[Straw Hat Kikos]

See there we go. PMing it to you is totally cool. But putting it on a public forum? No. Southern, you can PM it to bon. She's cool. lol


btw leaving key ingredients out is worse that what I'm doing. Just sayin'

 

[marlowmanor]

I'd love to have the recipe. I may even be able to get my picky DH to try it!
