Welcome

Welcome to Kay's Village Recipes! Some believe the heart of the home is in the kitchen, I believe the kitchen is the heart of the village. It takes a “village” to live life to its fullest and it has nothing to do with geography or how large or small a town you live in. My “village” is inhabited by family members, dear friends, co-workers, and the occasional visitor who is in my life for a short period of time. Each one of these people has a profound impact on my emotional wellbeing as well as the quality of my life, and all have one thing in common…they all love to eat, and I love to cook for them.
On this blog you will find free, family recipes for: homemade soups, breads, apple pie, cakes, candies, snacks, casseroles, main courses, side dishes, appetizers, breakfast, home-style cooking, and so much more.

Souper Gravy

Original Recipe from:  Lucy Griffin-Bowers

If making gravy intimidates you, this is the perfect recipe for you.  Grandma found this recipe way back in the 1960’s and after that didn’t make any other kind of gravy.  Smooth, no lumps, and fail safe.  My mother, on the other hand, always made traditional gravy.  She was a Gravy Pro.  So I grew up with both schools of thought when it came to gravy.  Personally, I can make any kind of gravy (just like my mother), but I appreciate how easy Grandma’s gravy is to make.  Whether your attempts at traditional gravy are always a disappointment or you’re just looking for a quick and easy gravy recipe, this one is a must try.  Enjoy!

Ingredients

1 can Cream of Mushroom Soup
1/4 can of Water
2-4 tablespoons pan drippings (beef, poultry, or pork)

Directions

Fry meat until done as desired.  Remove meat from pan; pour off and measure drippings.  Pour soup into pan.  Stir well to loosen browned bits.  Blend (whisk) in Water and Drippings.  Heat thoroughly, stirring often. 

Makes about 1-1/2 cups gravy. 

Good with Beef, Chicken, Turkey, Ham, and Pork

Kay’s Note:  I have substituted Cream of Chicken when preparing fried chicken.  Delicious!
