Family recipes

I would venture to guess that everyone has relatives who are known for one or more specialties when it comes to meals.

In my family, we have fun creating binders full of recipes gleaned from aunts, uncles, cousins, brothers, sisters, grandparents, moms or dads. Sometimes, we lose treasured recipes and that’s where the internet comes in handy.

I can’t count how many times we contact each other, asking for a particular recipe that became misplaced. Having many of my recipes on file as Word documents makes it easy to just copy and paste in an email or Messenger.
