MAW-MAWS BRUNSWICK STEW
I'm not sure where she got this recipe, but it's one of my favorites. Mom tweaked it over the years by omitting the tomatoes and replacing the chicken legs for breast meat, even Maw Maw liked it better. I can remember eating it with a big ole slice of hot buttered sweet corn bread and thinking it was the best thing to ever...

- 1. Heat oil in heavy dutch oven. Season chicken (cubed breasts or chicken legs) with salt, pepper and garlic, dredge in flour.
- 2. On Med to Med high heat brown chicken until just golden.
- 3. Add onion and saute until tender. Don't brown or caramelize them.

MAMAW'S CHICKEN AND RICE CASSEROLE
I grew up on this recipe, my Grandmother got it from a lady from church at a pot luck a long time ago! She passed it down to my mom and it's always been a family favorite. Quick and easy for school nights, and the leftovers are just as good! You can use less butter on top of course, my Momma and Mamaw always put the full stick on top (gotta love Southern ladies and their butter!)

- In a large pot place chicken pieces and add the chicken stock, onion, celery and 2 teaspoons of the salt. Put heat on medium low and simmer, partially covered, 15 to 20 minutes or until chicken is tender.

Cover the pot and let all simmer for 10 minutes more.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place the potatoes into a large pan with enough lightly salted water to cover them. Bring to a boil, and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and let cool.
- Wash the pork stomach thoroughly in cold water. Alternate stuffing the pork stomach with potatoes, sausage, and cabbage, seasoning with a little salt and pepper, until the stomach is full. Try to make even layers, imagining how it will look when it is done and you slice it. Fold closed, and place in a shallow roasting pan. If you have any leftover stuffing ingredients, just place them in the pan around the outside.
- Roast uncovered for 40 to 50 minutes in the preheated oven, until the sausage is cooked through and the stomach is browned and crispy. When done, slice into 2 inch slices and serve piping hot. You can make gravy out of the drippings if desired, but it is good by itself as a whole meal.
