Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

[ValerieJ]

what i like the most about the holidays is getting calls from my kids and now grand kids ... hey Nana how do you cook this??? my grandma would be proud that i am still sharing her recipes

I do have a daughter in law and a grandson who ask me those questions. It's a rewarding feeling. And they love my cookies. I guess it's worth it. Hmmm.... Nope! Not baking more cookies!

Mom made up cook books for my nieces with all the recipes written out on notecards a few years ago.

She's tried for years to give recipes to people so they don't dissappear.

Funniest thing is one of my aunts loved the baking powder biscuits we would always make for the county fair. Always won prizes with them. She assumed they were some secret family recipe from mom's side. Finally asked mom for the recipe a couple years ago. Mom looked at her funny and said it's just the biscuits supreme recipe from the Better Homes and Gardens cookbook. She did write it down for her though
