Family Cookbook
We recently visited my family in Florida for Thanksgiving. While there my Aunt said she needed to type all my Grandma's recipes. She's collected quit a few over the years. I offered to type them for her since she has so much other stuff going on, with taking care of my Grandma, working and everything else. So then we thought we could make a cookbook with all her recipes and give them to immediate family members. After even more discussion on the subject we thought we would do a family cookbook. Have everyone submit 5-10 tried and true recipes, along with a memory you have about eating that recipe or cooking it, a family story, or even a photo. This sounds like a great idea, alot of work if I go with adding photos and stuff, but it will be worth it. I hope I can get it done in a timely manner, like in less than a year!! Also for a reasonable price! My cousin, Jesse already submitted his "famous secret chili"...can't wait to try it and all the other ones to follow!!
