Just Like Grandma Evie Used to Make

 

Thank you for choosing Evie Rudolf's cookbook!   You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to view the cookbook after it is saved to your computer.  It is free at this link:  https://acrobat.adobe.com/us/en/products/pdf-reader.html


In 2013 I had the honor of helping my mother-in-law, Evelyn Rudolf, create a cookbook.  Over the years Evie's friends and family had asked her to put together a cookbook so she could share her wonderful recipes.  So she and I decided to do just that.  We both enjoyed gathering her favorites and making her dream of having her own cookbook a reality.  Evie and I hope you will enjoy her recipes and the helpful hints in her cookbook.  You can save and or print off Evie's cookbook when you follow the link below.

Update 9-28-15.  For those of you who already have Evie's cookbook, there are a few corrections you can add to your cookbook.  With the exception of the Cucumbers for Freezer recipe, the rest were corrected already in the pages below.  So if you view or copy them, you will see where the corrections were made.  Below are all of the corrections made since the first printing. 

Page 3 ~ Cream Puffs.  Add 1/2 cup of butter to the boiling water.

Page 12 ~ Yellow Angel Food Cake.  Add 1 1/2 cups of sugar to the list of ingredients.

Page 27 ~ Maple Sticks.  The flour should read 4 to 5 cups instead of the 8 cups. 

Page 53 ~ Cucumbers for Freezer.  The 1/2 cup white sugar should be changed from white sugar to vinegar. 

Page 64 ~ Evie's Meatloaf.  It should read 3/4 cup of ketchup. 

We apologize for the inconvenience.  Thank you! 

Here are a few more tips in the kitchen from Evie. 

1.  Add a tablespoon of lemon juice to Jello if you plan to use bananas.  This keeps them from turning dark.

2.  To make a boxed cake even better, add 1/4 cup of butter; softened, 1/2 cup of flour and 1 teaspoon of baking powder.  It really does make a superior cake. 

3.  When a recipe calls for greasing a pan, use the inside of the butter or margarine wrapper to grease the pan.  This idea Evie shared with me not too long ago.  It works wonderfully.
