Centenary is a very large church in down town Winston Salem, as I work for the United Methodist retirement community in Winston, Arbor Acres, I know many of the people who have recipies in this book,there are some really good recipes in this one, I use it often.As it was written in 1968, many of the ladies are now gone, but a large number are still living.

Hans we love the scalloped tomatoes good down home food.  I have theMethodist cookbooks  from the 40' forward from our home church and others where we have lived.  Good good recipes.  Some folks tell me that all you Methodist do is eat.  I say feed the body and then the sould.

 

Do you make macaroni and tomatoes.  I like it better than mac and cheese.

Yes, Mac and Tomatoes

My mother would make that quite frequently with some hamburg as a kid and called it American Chop Suey. But it was very tasty as a main dish and a budget stretcher for her.

Macaroni and Tomatoes

Very popular in this area. My mother's side of the family always made it with a mixture of tomato juice and crushed tomatoes, and seasoned with salt and a lump of butter. My father's side of the family made it with just tomato juice, and seasoned it with sugar and a lump of butter. To my knowledge the sugar recipe is because my grandmother is from the mountains of eastern Kentucky, and many families there use that recipe. I actually prefer the type with the sugar.

I dont think it is just a Methodist thing dynaflow to bring food to a family in need. When my sister got very sick, many of her friends from all different denominations brought food for her family. I think it is good people who care, regardless of what religion they believe in. And those are the people that will be rewarded in the afterlife.
