We were sitting around the dinner table the other night and my children (12 & 7) were listing their favorite recipes - Uncle Darren's Irish pancakes (little do they know it is only watered down pancake mix), Dad's meatballs (which is rice-o-roni and hamburger) and My soon to be famous slow cooker ribs.J
Even at their age they have started a list of family favorites. I grew up thinking that my Grammie (Myrtle) was the absolute best baker in the world, I still have her handwritten index cards in my recipe box. I unfortunately did not inherit her baking skills (I have found that bisquick is my best friend in case the children require bake goods for school) but I am always looking for fantastic recipes and the ones that are true to my heart are the family ones.
So we thought as a remembrance of this reunion we would produce a cookbook that would contain old photos, family recipes that are new and old, family quotes and fun stories.
You are welcome to purchase a printed cookbook (link to paypal is on the side) and I will bring them with me to the reunion. I will also have them available on CD which will allow you to print it at a later date.
Please post your recipes here or send an email if you would like to add a family photo with it. (If you have a "food" photo to accompany it as well that would be great!)
Your Grandmother was my Aunt - and she was the BEST cook and baker. Her rolls were my favourites! I always wanted to make sure we went to her house for dinner at least once so I could have some when we went down east. If that's one of the recipes you inherited, I sure hope it makes it into the recipe book.
