I have a binder full of recipes printed from a variety of sources including bloggers. Some of these are from sites that are no longer active. I’m creating this site to preserve the family favorites. I will always give credit to the original blogger and provide a link if their site is still active. I do have a few recipes of my own or from unknown sources but most will be attributed to others.

A couple of notes on my recipes.

  • My headings will use the name we call the meal by in our house. If it’s different than what the original source called it, I will include the name they gave it in the body of the post.
  • Recipes are guidelines not set in stone. I almost always follow a recipe exactly the first time, but over time adjust it to my/my family’s tastes. Baked goods are an exception for most ingredients, but in case most cases adding more chocolate is always a good idea. 😂. If you make any changes to these recipes let me know. Would love to know of any improvements I hadn’t thought of
  • I always use real parmesan when called for. Freshly shredded is so much better than that sawdust (as my mom used to call it) that comes in the canister. Not only does it taste better, but if you are adding parmesan to a sauce it melts much better.
  • I will use store bought shredded cheddar when needed as I feel like that melts fine and is a great time saver.
  • I only use real butter, sugar and eggs when called for. I once gave my Swedish Apple Pie recipe to a health conscious friend who substituted the butter, eggs and sugar with her usual subs. It did not turn out well, no surprise to me. If she had only subbed one ingredient it may have been fine.
