Yes, it is so sad when no one keeps those recipes. my granny made the best bread and rolls. One day I made her try and measure out the ingredients. Well back then it was a pinch, small handful, eyeball that. I have tried numerous times and to no avail. Well now her daughters want the recipe to make. I keep on trying. My dh had a grandmother who made awesome noodles. No recipe either. I keep trying that one as well.

Thank You ,but she has turned into a person I don't know @ all. Funny how money turns people. She became a greedy person. She didn't share anything with anyone in the family.
Craftybear is helping me on the recipe,YEA!!!

My mom made two different kinds. Here they are:

1 lb gr. beef, browned
1 can tomato soup and half can of water
1 can veg all

Thats it.

The other one. We always called it RoniMac

1/2 cup macaroni, cooked should double in bulk
1 sm onion, diced
1 can tomato soup and 1 can water
1 can crushed tomatoes
1/2 to 1 lb of gr beef , browned.

saute the onion and beef. add every thing else and cover and simmer for about 15 minutes.

we ate these two dishes over mashed potatoes

When we had to move my Mom to a nursing home my younger sister felt there were many of Mom's things she was entitled to take. I didn't feel like making an issue of what she was taking, but a couple of things that I would have liked to have just are gone - Mom's recipe box was left sitting on the floor in her basement when the basement flooded - out it went. The Necchi sewing machine (c. 1955 or so) that I learned to sew on - given away when she had to move. Grrrrr.

My mother-in-law was my best friend and I will still cry missing her sometimes. My in-laws would spend Thanksgiving through New years with us and during that period of time I would have my DMIL write down recipes she made for us during their visit. It's been 20 years plus since she passed away, but I still like to sit down every once in awhile and go through these recipes just to look at her hand writing. Somehow doing this brings her back to me for a moment or two.

I have written one by my grandma and mom. I treasure them.

I agree that it is very sad that family members wouldn't want to keep that. Each recipe holds family memories. I am the only person in my family that lives in a different state and sometimes your memories is all you have.
