Recipes and Memories: When Mom Cooked

For Christmas this year I updated a cookbook my Mom put together back in the dot-matrix printer days. She titled it, WHEN MOM COOKED. This cookbook contains 65 recipes my Mom cooked when her family was young. All the recipes are fairly simple since she led a busy life keeping track of four kids, a husband, and herself. Each recipe includes a short "Mom's Note," where my Mom shares a few memories associated with the dish.

The original version of this cookbook was given to her kids as gifts in 1993. (All of our three hole-punched copies are now tattered after heavy usage.) This updated version is being given as Christmas gifts from me to Moore family members. It is also being shared with you in this e-book version.

My Mom would be thrilled to know others are using her recipes to create lasting family memories.

What a wonderful, wonderful idea. I need to start cooking so that my children will be able to think fondly of my dishes one day. Merry merry!

What an amazing gift to share with your readers. I love the notes from your mom - such a special, personal touch. I will definitely print out a copy and try many of your mom's recipes for my family!

Thank you so much for sharing. The recipes look great; and I am sure your mother would be proud that so many people are enjoying the recipes. She had a great sense of humor too- I love the "Mom notes."
