I have quite a reputation in the family for collecting recipes, and therefore have been fortunate enough to be the one to acquire collections from many relatives. Wonderful handwritten recipes passed from generation to generation. The recipes span about 100 year period beginning around 1900.

I refer often to the "Family Cookbook". This was started on my side of the family in 1980, and as each of my cousins married all the family wives contributed recipes and a copy of them made for each of us. The book started in 1980 with 24 recipes and by 1996 there were about 350 at which time we had it published for us. Many of the recipes are very old recipes we're all glad we made a point of printing before they were forever lost.

It will take me a very long time to get all the recipes I have in here, so the collection is by no means complete. I hope you enjoy my heirloom collection and perhaps you'll find a long lost recipe that will remind you of wonderful days gone by. I am finding many myself to try!!! ENJOY!!!

Please take note, most of these recipes I have not personally tried!!! I will copy them "as written", so adjust as you see fit. Many shortcuts were taken when hand writing a recipe and often directions are assumed.
