Description
🔗 Grandma never wrote hers down, so I finally did. All 118 plus much more. Get em before they're gone: https://www.opalrowe.com
Opal Rowe is eighty years old, and she made this one for anybody who eats supper alone and hardly sees the sense in dirtying a pan. She counts down 45 old mountain dump and bake dinners for one, where it all goes in one little dish, the oven does the work, and there is next to nothing to wash. All the while a pint jar sits on her kitchen counter with the lid on, and two spoonfuls out of it turn one chicken thigh into a supper fit for Sunday. Her neighbors have asked what is in it for years, and she never told a one of them. Until now.
In this one, Opal covers:
• The smoked sausage, taters, and onion that bake in one loaf pan with no water and no standing at the stove
• Why raw rice comes out tender in the oven every time, as long as you never lift the foil
• Pasta, egg noodles, and macaroni that bake right in the dish and never see a pot of boiling water
• The one supper she will not call dump and bake, and why a dried bean can't be rushed
• What has been sitting in that jar on her counter the whole time, and how it goes on the chicken
Tell Opal down in the comments where you are watching from, and who it was that taught you to cook, a mama, a mawmaw, or some neighbor woman. Tell her what supper you make now that it is only you. Opal reads every last one.
