Bonnie,

You should be proud! What an accomplishment. Good for you, glad it is finished and over with.

You are very brave Bonnie. There are so many different tastes in food these days. What some people think is a great recipe, others think is terrible. Maybe families are more forgiving?

I remember when my niece was married there was a shower where everyone was told to bring a recipe on an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of paper. They were then placed in a notebook and given to the bride to be. The collection was passed around the room. You could tell when everyone got to the recipe based on cool whip. Fortunately the person who sent the recipe was not present.

Hope I didn't offend you with the cool whip story.

Good luck with you family reunion.

Thanks guys, no offense Lin, there are some cool whip and dream whip recipes in the book..lol well now they have fat free/sugar free cool whip!

yes I am glad it is done...

now I can add my recipes for my family ..at my own pace!!

Bonnie

Good job Bonnie!

My mom has been trying to do one too, but she has so much going on in the cooking arena, I secretly doubt it will ever be finished. I must say on her defense, we come from a long line of excellent down-home cooks, so I am sure there are many recipes to get in order. HEY!! Maybe we could all send you a recipe and you could create a STROKEBOARD cookbook??? Procedes could go to the site! (Just teasing- wanted to see your reaction, lol).

Take care, Dawg!

Kristen, lol.. but I am getting better at getting these recipes in.

I have tons of my own & my mother's..she was an excellent cook.

The problem with some of my recipes..they are in my head and not really measured.. I just "do"it..dump and cook or whatever..lol so when someone actually wants certain recipes I have to think about what I do..lol

The people who e mailed the recipes were gre at, because I could cut, copy and paste. it was the hand written ones that took so long to type in.

I AM going to hook up the %**& scanner and learn how to use it..LOL

Bonnie

Really great idea Bonnie, I had some of the better recipes of an Aunt that herdaughter shared but ubfortunately, they were where I knew they were but the family moved me and they are probably gone.

One gal from Chihuahua Rescue, did a recipe book as a fund raiser. Everyone sent recpes and photos of their chis and a beautiful book was issued. Went like hotcakes. This book, I have.

A niece of mine had made a book up of each side of her family. It had pictures and all and was wonderful, She did it so she could pass it on to her children. That's another nice idea.

These are great ideas but sure are a lot of work.
