Recipes

Over the years the famous cooks of Holly have put together at least two community cookbooks, the most recent one published in 1990. These collections of savory, sweet and everything in-between recipes show off what neighbors have enjoyed for years at all the parties and potlucks in the Schoolhouse.

Schoolhouse potluck events have always been a smorgasbord of those cooking skills on full display.  Without any planning, potluck dinners always seemed to have the right amount of every dish spread out on the long table in front of the kitchen, with the coffee bar set up and dessert table to the right.

We are hoping to reprint the cookbooks to have available this year to celebrate the Centennial and perhaps add new recipes from new Holly cooks that have emerged since 1990.
