Supporting in more ways than one: Aggie Moms


Aggie Mothers Know Best, about Aggie Moms’ Clubs and Mothers’ Club representatives talk about scholarships these clubs sponsor and what these gifts mean to both parents and students. Watch here!

Not only do Aggie Moms' Clubs offer great support to Aggie students, but they sure can cook! Their recipes are featured in the TAMU Press's book: Aggies, Moms, and Apple Pie, edited by Edna Smith.


The college experience revolves around many things, not the least important of which is food. From dorm room cuisine to tailgate parties to care packages, higher education can present some distinctive new demands on a person's cooking skills, time, and recipe file. This special cookbook will help both students and parents meet these challenges. It offers an array of good fare for late-night suppers, gatherings at your house, and regional specialties to impress the new roommate from New Jersey. Edna M. Smith, mother of two Texas Aggies, prepared this specially tailored cookbook from the recipes submitted by the members of seventy Federation of Texas A&M University Mothers' Clubs. The nearly five hundred recipes focus on the needs of families with college students and of the students themselves. Those who are novice cooks, perhaps just starting their own families and traditions, will appreciate the helpful suggestions for solving culinary mysteries. Any cook will enjoy the varied dishes that have been favorites for parties, covered dish suppers, and family feasts.
