I have several pages on my blog to some old family recipes, https://pamelasopenwindow.blogspot.com/ divided up into my mother's favorite recipes, my grandmother's favorite recipes, and more family favorites. I haven't updated it in a while, and this program you have cited might be a great way to get them all into one handy place! Thank you for sharing this wonderful idea with us! I would love to have a copy of your cookbook too. Maybe you should offer them for sale? Just a thought. I don't know how many you can print with this program. Anyway, I love it, and you are so smart!! Pamela M.

We just put all our favorite recipes in word docs, printed them, and put them in a binder. Nothing fancy. It was nice to have them all in one place, though.

One of my favorite recipes throughout the years for different special occasions or just simply a home meal is a seven-layer bean dip. It's Yummy, simple, and here it is.<br /><br />Lay's Bean Dip for the bottom <br />Avocados<br />Sour Cream<br />Chopped Tomatoes<br />Chopped Olives<br />Chopped Onions<br />Sprinkle Cheese on top<br />(but I sprinkle cheese all over). ; )<br /><br />*I wanted to tell you that I loved your comment about shoveling snow and the neighbor. What a beautiful thing for you to do. When get snow from December to around March, and the one thing that we have to do is shovel the driveway, which my son does usually. But I was out there one day shoveling it myself cause I needed groceries! haha<br /><br />Have a delightful week, Marilyn.

I am the worst about measurements! I measure as I cook. I keep telling my three daughters that I am going to get better with that! I am like my grandmother...she just simply cooked and didn't think about all the measurements. LOL! I have lots of recipes. Several from my grandmother, aunts and Motherinlove that have all gone on to be with the Lord. I am real bad about taking different recipes I find and adding my own flare to them. I have always loved to cook and bake for my family. What a precious gift to your children Marilyn. Their cookbooks will be a golden treasure to them one day. I have so many recipes that I enjoy but my Sausage and potato soup recipe is most requested from my grandchildren. Happy New Year dear lady.

I also have done handmade cookbooks as wedding gifts for family and friends. But that said, I do still often get calls from kids or emails from grandkids asking about specific recipes. I really ought to check into this Family Cookbook Project; it might be a much more economical way to make personalized cookbooks for family and friends. <br /><br />For a recipe to share ... hmmm, that would be a difficult choice, but I will share this link for Crumb Top Apple Pie. It might make a nice dessert on one of these cold winter evenings, using just pantry ingredients and apples, which most people likely keep on hand: https://acrossmytable.blogspot.com/2016/10/crumb-top-apple-pie.html<br /><br />I too think it would be nice if you gave away a copy of your own cookbook.

What a treasure for your dear children to have and hold from now on! You are so thoughtful and kind to do that for them, and I can only imagine how much love and feeling you poured into it. My sweet Mom was like that as far as knowing things in her head and not writing them down. I must confess I do the same thing, at times. It is just so wonderful that your children will never have to guess or wonder how you made things. You have accomplished such great things, my friend, and God uses you in so many ways to bless others. I love and appreciate you and am so grateful for your friendship.
