I was going through my mothers recipes and realized what a treasure they are. They hold many wonderful memories of dinners and sharing. I remember sometimes calling her from many miles away as a mother myself asking about how to prepare something just like she did. Growing up we always had dinner at 6pm on the dot, and we were always together as a family. We didn't have exotic meals but they were always good, and we always had some kind of little desert.
Mother is 84 now and not cooking like she used to so I thought it would be great to preserve her recipes for the family and be able to share with others. I have sisters, a daughter,sister and brother-in laws, aunts, and cousins that also have wonderful recipes, so there will be others that can share.
Mother and I spent a wonderful morning going through her recipes at the kitchen table. There were recipes written on scraps of paper from many years back from her mother, aunts, cousins and friends. It brought back memories for both of us.
Enjoy!
