Our close-knit family gathers often to catch up on news and keep current on events in the lives of our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Each gathering is an opportunity to share recipes and how-to's with each other, and enjoy the latest, greatest and best of our culinary efforts.
This book is my mother's best collection of family recipes and memories passed down through several generations. You'll find old time recipes, newer recipe additions and stories and memories of a lifetime with a few photos of the family sprinkled throughout the book. The recipes span back to my great-grandmother, and includes her receipe for Hominy, Soda Biscuits, and Corn Relish. It continues with family favorites for Canned Pickled Beets (we call them Granny's Good Beets), my Mom's to-die-for Cinnamon Rolls, my best Baked Beans and our favorite Apple Butter recipe that you make in a crock pot.
