The Boxcar Children Cookbook

I found this cookbook by Diane Blain on a recent jaunt to the library. It's a simple little cookbook with easy and yummy-sounding recipes to make with children - each dish being mentioned in one or the other books from the Boxcar series. It was fun browsing through - a bit of a trip down memory lane as I remember reading several of the books to the boys when they were little. A handful of the recipes have been copied and added to my recipe folder to try:

* Hobo Stew
* Hollow-Leg Bread Pudding
* Miner's Blueberry Pie
* Snow Ice Cream
* Aunt Jane's Favorite Asparagus
* Campout Cornbread (which we've already tried for breakfast one morning - a definite keeper)

My family has enjoyed "Campout Cornbread" for years!! It is my favorite cornbread recipe. I am making it now and sitting at the computer...wondering if I could find a copy of the book (we checked it out of the library when I was a child...that's where I still have the recipe from!), when I stumbled across your post! Enjoy your family!
