🎶🎵 Georgia, Georgia 🎵🎶. I’ve never been to Georgia. Maybe one of these days I’ll get to travel there. Until then, I’ll live vicariously thru this next cookbook which comes to you from Fort Stewart, Georgia.

The land for Fort Stewart was bought in 1940 and a short two years later, it was opened as a training center for the US Army. Camp Stewart was complete with a firing range and impact areas. Fort Stewart was named after a local Revolutionary War General named Daniel Stewart and spans 280,000 acres.

When I opened, “Garry Owen Grub: A Collection Of Recipes By 3rd Squadron, 7th Cavalry Family Support Group”, the first thing I noticed was the hole in the front cover. Then I quickly decided that it was supposed to be there as there was also a hole in the back cover as well. Bullet holes, Man. Bullet holes. Yes, they thought of everything.

And true to military style, this cookbook showcases folks from all over. Folks that came together to help make our country better. So even though this cookbook is from Georgia, it’s easy to see that this is an eclectic mix of recipes from all over the country. A treasure indeed❤️

While flipping pages, I landed on a simple recipe. Scanning the recipe for Peanut Butter Treats, I just knew it was the recipe my mom uses for her Peanut Butter Rice Krispies. Guess what? It ain’t. This one is good too, just not the one I’m looking for. Could I ask my Mama to give me her recipe? Yes, but I’m stubborn and I’m determined to find it myself😆

Couple things:

1. It doesn’t say anything about needing a double boiler. I was nervous not to use one. Turns out you don’t need it. It melts down fine and doesn’t stick.
2. 12 Oz bags of butterscotch chips have shrunk and are now 11 Oz bags. I put in 1/2 cup less Rice Krispies to accommodate this problem.

Y’all enjoy!
