Welcome!
10:13 PM - November 04, 2005
This is my adventure into the world of blogs. I intend to put all of my mother's and grandmother's recipes online.
After my mother died I struggled with a way to stay connected with my past. My mother talked a lot about her mother's cooking. While my mother did not really enjoy cooking herself she did keep her mother's recipes as prized possessions.
Some of the recipes that I will be featuring include gumdrops, stolen, and homemade marshmallows. These all come from my grandmother's recipe cards and include notes by both my mother and grandmother. I don't know when the recipes were written, but many of my grandmother's recipes are pre-depression.
Hopefully I will be able to add one each week. Whenever possible I will try the recipe and take a picture to add to this journal. I will also be adding recipes of my own and any recipes you may want to contribute along the way.
I appreciate your company on this culinary journey. I am excited to explore new foods and hope you will try some of the recipes as well.
Feel free to leave comments and please check back weekly!
