Recipe Swap: Recipes from the family vault

Wednesday, June 24, 2009

I am busy getting ready for our family reunion over the Independence Day weekend. We have family come in from about 12 states and usually host 100 to 125 people. It takes a lot of planning, shopping and cooking to feed everyone for several days. I have a large master notebook and keep records from year to year, which helps. I also keep all of the recipes we use, but some we use every year because they are a tradition. I thought for fun I would share a few of those recipes with you today. If you have traditional family recipes please send them in so others can read about your family traditions.
