Family Recipes
Most recipes contain some form of grain and there are a few that have been passed down to me from both Chris' family and my own that I will forever cherish. I will not share the recipes specifically as they are private family heirlooms that may need to be kept secret ;) But one of the great things that came from getting these recipes was a place to keep them. For my wedding shower, my MIL gave me a recipe book with some of their family recipes written inside, by hand, by those who had made them famous in our circle. A number of things were special about this gift- 1. of course the recipe itself (they are famous for a reason) 2. being handwritten 3. the space left throughout for me to add in my side of the family, and possibly for me to add some of my own at some point (though lets me honest- me having famous recipes is a bit of a long shot). I have since added many of my own family's recipes from my grandmas and aunts.
