My Grandmother on my Mom’s side was named Mary, but my oldest sister christened her Grandma Honey at some point in her childhood — I didn’t realize until I was a year or two into grade school that Grandma Honey was just a nickname!
At any rate, the woman could COOK. Yup, capital letters cook — really that good. She passed a few years ago, and during a recent trip to my Grandpa’s to help him pack to move (in with one of his daughters — my aunt) I snagged her recipe box. It’s part of an informal project I have gong on to digitize as much of my family’s pictures and other “hard copy history” as I can…
Most of her recipes she carried in her head (good thing I learned as much as I did from her in the kitchen when I did!) but she had quite a slew of her “found” and exchanged recipes in her box, along with her most-requested recipes — they are all worthy of sharing, which I’ll be doing on an intermittent basis.
Enjoy!
