When my husband and I got married we received one gift that stands out to me as a favorite. It was a cookbook. I love cook books! I check them out at the library, buy them, read them online. All the while dreaming of a life where I could cook GOOD. But let's face it, I am no Gordon Ramsey. I may act like him sometimes in the kitchen but I certainly do NOT cook like him. That is why my favorite cookbooks are the ones full of normal food. Full of food that anyone can cook at anytime. Full of ingredients that I actually have in my cabinets. The cookbook that we received when we got married was given to us by my mother-in-law. It is a cookbook that is handwritten full of family favorite recipes. What better way to start off a marriage than to have all of your new husbands family favorite recipes. This cook book is still (11 years later) my favorite.
One day a little while back, one of the girls said, "Mom, when I go away to collage will you make me one of those cookbooks full of OUR family favorites." Choking back the tears, I smiled and said,"of course". (Sniff Sniff it is closer than I want to admit)
So I wanted to add a new element to my blog.....Family Favorite Recipes. I wanted to start posting the different recipes that we use and love so that I can eventually pass them on. Hopefully it will be fun and a great new way to share a little piece of me.
