Hound and Teddy Bear Printable Boxes

January 8, 1935- Elvis Presley was born. I hope you enjoy these two printable boxes that I made especially for the occasion. Inspired by the songs (Let Me BeYour) Teddy Bear and Hound Dog. This is the first dog I've ever drawn!

The recipe card set also includes a matching folder for them. 

Two recipes from Grandma's recipe box today because I just couldn't decide which one to offer.

The first one is a basic recipe for tapioca. My Grandma had a serious sweet tooth and this was one of her favorite desserts.

Tapioca Pudding

1/2 cup pearl tapioca

3 C. milk

2 eggs well beaten

1/4 tsp. salt

1 1/2 C. sugar

1/2 tsp. vanilla 

Soak tapioca 24 hrs. in 1 cup milk. Drain, using 2 qt double boiler, add 2 c. milk, tapioca, eggs, salt and sugar. Cook for 15-20 min. stirring constantly. Remove from heat, add vanilla and allow to cool for 10 minutes.

As a kid, I loved it when Grandma made tapioca. As an adult, I use the same recipe more or less. I like it with half white sugar, half raw sugar, 1 more egg, and a tablespoon of vanilla instead of a half tsp.

Salad Dressing

1 10 1/2 oz. can tomato soup

1/2 c. oil

1 c. sugar

3/4 c. cider vinegar

1 tsp. mustard

1 tsp. salt

1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce 

1/2 tsp. pepper

small bell pepper and onion

Blend all in blender, Refrigerate over night before using.

*Vi says she uses prepared hot mustard with horseradish

This is pretty close to a French dressing prepared according to this recipe, but Grandma always made mine with a lot more vinegar and no sugar because I preferred vinaigrette type dressings. Vi was a friend of hers. I never tasted the dressing made that way, but I think I'll try it on the 4th this year.
