When my mother-in-law passed away, I was given the opportunity to choose something of hers to have as my own in her memory. I chose her 2 boxes of recipe cards....and it is something I treasure and will pass on to my daughters. She had some great old fashioned family recipes in there.

I know I have favorite recipes past down from my great grandmother and grandmother. Do you keep recipes written by your relatives? I even enjoy just looking at their handwritingon those old recipe cards. it fills me with wonderful memories of time spent with them.
I've got all the recipes from my hubby's two aunts. No one else in the family wanted them. I don't use most of them, but I've got 'em.

You know this just goes to show again how alike we quilters are. We all treasure ...memories and things that bring those memories to mind like our quilts and even our grandmother's recipes. I think we know how to appreciate what's REALLY important!!! :)

I inherited my gram's and mom's recipes. One year I started putting them in the computer, even some of the newspaper clippings she had clipped out. After putting them neatly in sections, like pies, cakes, main entrees, etc. I printed them out. I gave them as Christmas gifts to my sister and cousins. I refer to them often and even saw one of the recipes in the latest issue of the Costco magazine. The recipe was for refrigerator potatoes and my gram had the clipping from a South Dakota paper from years and years ago.
