Add to that my own continued obsession of reading cookbooks, and saving recipes I find online, and I found myself looking desperately for a way to organize the recipes I have, so that I can easily find them, and just as easily share them. “ What is grandma’s pumpkin pie recipe made with maple syrup?”, or “ What’s in your deviled eggs?”. My own daughters are now starting families, and call or IM with questions about the foods they remember. The point is, I am the keeper of cherished family recipes. I’ve inherited her love for feeding a crowd, but I still haven’t mastered the art of planning & timing, so by the time folks arrive for a feast, I’m pretty much still look like I should hide in the kitchen.īut I digress.

And not only was her food tasty, as well as “delicious & nutritious”, but mom always looked great by the time it was served. Holiday meals were almost always at our house, with anywhere from 10 to 20 or more people around as many tables and folding tables as the house would hold. Mom was an amazing cook - ask any of our relatives.
