Mom's Cookbook

When I went home for Christmas I copied down some recipes from Mom's cookbook. It started out as a family cookbook that was made for my mom, her sisters, and sister-in-laws one year for Christmas about 25 years ago. It looks like this today.

Full of the original typed recipes, hand written notes, recipes torn out of magazines, recipes that were given to my mom

Stuff my mom wrote down on the back of stuff like deposit slips. (Probably something she copied while waiting at the doctor or something similiar)

All kinds of recipes - Look closely and you'll find the original Chezze Ball recipe! :)

But it also contains treasures such as hand written recipes from my grandmother

And even some like this one which was hand written by my great-grandmother over 25 years ago. I've always joked with her that this book is a mess and she needs to organize it. Now I think it needs to stay just as it is! It has more personality this way. :)
