My mom's, aunt's, cousin's, their families and friends.  Recipes from a generation gone by.  Eating dinner, back in the early to mid part of last century, held our families together and helped make this nation great.  A feeling of belonging, of purpose, floated in the air and was soaked up in the very food the women prepared.  For back then, it was the moms, who kept the family together.  Mom's were the heart and soul of the family.  I miss those days of being a kid, running through the back door, hearing my mom's voice call out.      Here are some of those recipes.  I add them as I go through my mom's crate of recipes.  I include recipes found in old tin recipe boxes, and other places.  All recipes were handwritten.
