Southern Brisket

4-5 lb Brisket
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. garlic salt
2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp. onion salt
2 tsp. pepper
2 tsp. celery salt or seed

Mix together and rub into both sides of meat. Bake in a heavy closed-foil pan at 225 degrees for 8 hours or overnight. Pour most of the liquid off and reseal. Refrigerate until cold. Slice thin. Add 2 cups sauce and bake at 325 degrees for 45 minutes to an hour.

Sauce
1 cup Russian dressing
1 cup sugar
1 cup BBQ sauce (Sweet Baby Ray's is the best)

*I would suggest using an oven thermometer because I have ruined it once or twice due to an oven being too hot. Also make sure the foil is really tight. I use 2-3 sheets.

Crepes

4 eggs
2 c flour
1.5 c milk
1 c water
6 tbs melted butter

For sweeter crepes:
2 tbs vanilla
4 tbs sugar

Mix all ingredients in mixing bowl, (temper melted butter so it doesn't cook eggs before adding to mix) Whisk well. Rest in fridge for 20-30 minutes to let bubbles subside (I'm usually too lazy to do this, and haven't noticed a difference...but you probably should) Heat large frying pan to medium, and coat w/ cooking spray. Pour 1/2 c crepe batter in center of pan and swirl to coat. Cook until the crepe slips in pan when you give it a firm shake. (usually about 30-45 second) Slide spatula under crepe and slowly flip (crepes can easily tear at this point, so be careful) Let cook another 10-15 seconds to preferred doneness. Slide crepe out of pan to cool. COAT PAN W/ COOKING SPRAY AFTER EACH CREPE.


For me, this recipe make about a dozen large crepes. You may want to halve recipe.

Chicken Roll-ups

This is a great recipe that my mom always made for us growing up. It is easy and delicious!

- 2-3 cups diced or shredded chicken
- 2 cups shredded cheese
- 2 cans of cream of chicken soup
- 1 1/2 cans of milk (use the empty soup cans)

1. Mix together the diced chicken and cheese.
2. Mix together the cream of chicken soup and milk. Pour just enough of soup mixture on bottom of 9x13 pan to cover the bottom.
3. Open the crescent rolls. Stretch each one out. Put a large spoonful of chicken mixture on the wide part of the crescent roll. Roll up and fold the ends over the middle. Place rolls in 9x13 pan.
4. Bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.
5. Warm up remainder of soup mixture and pour over baked roll-ups.
6. Enjoy!!
