This is a new blog I'm starting to post some of the recipes I use frequently. These recipes come from literally everywhere. My Mom was on it enough to put together all of her recipes in a book for me a few years ago, which was awesome. This book is truly amazing because it includes generations of recipes from both Grandmas (my Mom & Dad's), her recipes, neighbors recipes, friends, etc.
So I don't make everything in Mom's Recipe Book, because there is a lot, but mostly because some of these things are just not my style. I love you Grandma, but I'll probably never make your molasses recipe in there (sorry!). There are similar old recipes like that so I'm sticking to sharing the most delicious/relevant ones.
ALSO...I have perfected some of these recipes. My Mom is an amazing cook, baker, you name it. With today's internet however, I feel I have a leg up on her. I can easily look up the chemistry of food (Why does this turn runny when I add this?), and figure out what to do if something turns out wrong to save it.. I love the internet, it has really helped hone my own cooking skills...but especially my baking skills.
So this will just be an accumulation of recipes from my family to yours. I am not a magical chef, I am not creating/reinventing new things here (at least that's not my plan!), I am merely posting delicious recipes from my family that I can keep somewhere safe and also at the same time share.
