Introduction

This is a collection of old and new recipes from family and friends.

It is the beginning of what possibly can, and I hope will be, a never-ending family cookbook.

My reason for writing this for my grandchildren is that it is my desire that they and their future families, will continue to enjoy being together during the holidays and on special occasions. They have always had wonderful times together. I hope they continue to add and share their special recipes and helpful hints with each other.

Also, it will be interesting for them to compare the very old times consuming methods of cooking with our modern ones.
