Growing up, Sunday evening dinners were pretty casual. Dad often made bacon and egg sandwiches or his signature recipe, "Dad's Stuff". In honor of Father's Day, I whipped up a batch of "Dad's Stuff" last weekend. I have never made it before, and I can't even remember eating it in the last 10 years, but it's a taste I will never forget. So here's what you need:
 |
| Light corn syrup, peanut butter, butter (imitation is just fine), maple syrup (imitation is just fine), and honey |
Note- this is not a very healthy recipe!
So you pretty much just throw a little of everything in a bowl. I don't have amounts, helpful huh? I just put 2 spoonfuls of peanut butter, 1 spoon of butter, and a squirt of each syrup and the honey.
You just mix it up and slap it on some bread or eat it straight out of the bowl. I did both. At first it didn't have the taste I remembered, so I ended up adding more honey and maple syrup. It was just right.
You'll probably never make it, but I just wanted to share one of the foods that reminds me of my Dad and takes me straight back to my childhood. Mmm mmm- "Dad's Stuff"

mmmmmm, this sounds good! I may actually try your Dad's stuff recipie!
Sounds like a good spread to go on french toast!
I'm Amanda Nichol's Aunt Sissie and I have to thank you for the memory reminders. My great-grandmother had a similar syrup concoction that we ate on biscuits. My Daddy was a preacher and he often made special suppers on Sunday evenings after services.
I remember eating this at your house (maybe middle school age??) and I can still remember how it tastes! I'll have to whip up a small bowl--it would be awesome on french toast or biscuits too! Thanks for the sweet reminder! :)
I get the bowl!
