When my sisters, brothers and I went away to college in the 80s my mother gave us each a cookbook with all the recipes for the food we ate growing up. She recently asked if I had the recipes electronically, since I didn't I decided to start posting them for family to share. I have posted the recipes as she wrote them. Best thing she ever gave me, I use the cookbook to this day!
