About

In 2005 I made a cookbook for my sister and cousin.  I wanted to include all the favorites from our family for them as they moved off.  Once I started coming across more of our grandmothers' recipes a few years ago, I started this blog to share what I'd found.  Slowly but surely, I'm getting them entered.  As I started sorting and thinking, I later realized that I probably shouldn't limit it to only our grandmothers' recipes but to family recipes as well.  And why should I stop there?  Instead of keeping it a secret and only as an easy go-to for my sister and cousin, I thought it might be a good idea to include everyone.  What started out as Our Grandmothers' Recipes, is now basically turning into an online family cookbook.  

While the actual recipes are only in the order of which they were posted, I try to keep everything labeled by the type of dish, who it came from and in some cases, an ingredient.  So say you know there was this certain dish that Dodo always made.  Click on Dodo's name in the list of labels and everything I found in her recipes will come up.  If that's not who you remember it coming from, don't fret.  I'm just going by the recipe collection it came from.  Do a search for the type of dish.  Of course I don't have every recipe listed...yet.

I haven't made it a point to go through and make each dish (although that does sound like a challenge) but when possible, I'm attaching a picture.

So if you need to come check for a recipe or reference, the blog is here for you.  If you don't need to check for a recipe or reference, it's still here for you.
