Co-op News

SAN BERNARD ELECTRIC COOPERATIVE IS PLEASED TO ANNOUNCEthat two winners of Texas Co-op Power’s 2017 Holiday RecipeContest have been selected from our membership! The grandprizewinner is Rebekah Stewart from Hockley, and a sweet cat-egory winner is Dawn Hodges from Bellville.

Baking and sharing sweets and recipes is as much a part ofthe holidays as wrapping presents, and cooperative membersfrom all over the state send in recipes to share with othermembers for the contest.

Both ladies share a love for the kitchen and experimentingwith new and exciting flavors. They both share their love ofcooking with family and friends, and now, with our membership.

Hodges said her Aunt Mary inspired her love for cooking,baking and farm living. She loved visiting her aunt’s farm inMonaville. “My times working on the farm were so special tome, and I am sure those days are what instilled in me thedesire to cook and to one day live on a farm.”

Stewart’s origin story differs somewhat. “I have loved cook-ing since I was a child,” she said. “My mom didn’t like to cook,and I felt like the love of cooking was just something that wasin me. I would love to try different recipes since I was a childand have become more adventurous as an adult.”

When asked about their favorite recipes, both ladiesreplied, “Desserts!”

“I loved cooking comfort food like mac-n-cheese, lemon

tarts and pies. My family loves my beef stroganoff,” Stewartadded.

“I love anything with fresh ingredients,” explained Hodges.“We grow our own produce, raise chickens for eggs and meat,and have cattle and pigs. I encourage people to cook with thebest and freshest ingredients you can because your family willlove the food—and you for making it.”

Stewart’s contest-winning recipe is a warm gingerbreadcake with apple compote and lemon basil sauce. “The magazinesaid to create something that makes you think of the holidays,and gingerbread was the first thing that came to mind when I thought of the holidays,” Stewart said. She experimentedwith a plain lemon sauce and one with basil, and found that sheliked the combination of the two together.

Hodges submitted her famous pineapple cream cheese pie.“I submitted my recipe because it is really good,” laughedHodges. “It started out as a normal pie recipe, and then I addedcoconut and made it more like a cheesecake. Who doesn’t lovecream cheese?”

Both women enjoy cooking as a hobby and career. Stewartoffers cooking and baking classes for kids and adults; Hodgeshas published a cookbook of her favorite recipes and hostsantique shows twice a year. These two women love to sharetheir love of cooking, and we are so happy to call them SanBernard EC members.
