Why I Post Recipes

The AWESOME family cookbook my sister made.

When I was still unmarried my sister compiled this well-loved (can ya tell?) collection of their family favorites.  She gave us all copies.  Mine was brand new and white at one time, I promise.  I have used this thing so much over the years for the tried and true dishes from my childhood.

Now that we've been a family for 13 1/2 years now, we've gotten down our own routines, traditions, and recipes.  Since I can't find the time to keep separate journals, scrapbooks, photo albums, and collections of recipes, this blog is my catch-all.  The internet keeps it all safe for me, and while I appreciate that, I also intend to print sections if I want "books" of these topics someday.

So, that is why you are seeing more and more recipes here.  I obviously don't have the photography skill to be a food stylist or anything, but I want our recipes saved, and am happy if someone else enjoys them too!
