Sausage and Bowties
View recipe: Sausage and BowtiesFrom Mimi’s recipes This dish was a staple of my childhood. It was in my grandmother’s recipe box, but I am pretty sure she got the recipe from my mom, who got it from a magazine. I ate this probably at least once a month during fall/winter, and once every other during spring/summer, and it…

Meatball Stroganoff
View recipe: Meatball StroganoffFrom Mimi’s recipes This one is labeled “Meatball Stroganoff- Mother” which I assume would be my great grandmother’s recipe. I love Stroganoff, anything with mushrooms really, and with meatballs instead of sliced meat it becomes super simple. Unfortunately I am cooking for a tough crowd; My daughter has decided she hates all things mushroom, and…

Posh Squash
View recipe: Posh SquashFrom Aunt Deb’s recipe box This recipe was written out three separate times in the box, so I knew I had to make it before squash season was over. When it comes to summer vegetables I am usually the type to either just stick it on the grill or sauté in a pan, because who…

Peanut Butter Cookies
View recipe: Peanut Butter CookiesFrom Aunt Deb’s recipe box This recipe is credited to Lynda Wenske, who’s name is on a few recipes in the box. My guess is that she was a friend of Aunt Deb’s. This is a great peanut butter cookie recipe. It whips up quickly, and using shortening instead of butter gives them a great…

Blueberry Pie
View recipe: Blueberry PieFrom Aunt Deb’s recipe box One more blueberry recipe to finish off the bounty of our blueberry picking. Since I don’t make it often, I forgot how good pie can be, And so easy to make! This pie had a great tartness to it, and went great with vanilla ice cream. I was a little…

Hot German Potato Salad
View recipe: Hot German Potato SaladFrom Aunt Deb’s recipe box I don’t think how much I love German potato salad can be described in words. I could eat a vat of this stuff, and then maybe go back for another. Luckily I have a few more recipes for it in the stash, so this is just version #1. As a…

Fabulous Blueberry Pancakes
View recipe: Fabulous Blueberry PancakesFrom Mimi’s recipe box Blueberry pancakes were a common breakfast whenever we stayed over at Mimi’s house, especially when she lived in Maine and had wild ones growing in the backyard. I am not sure if this is the recipe that she typically used, but it is credited to Sally Flynn, who was a friend…

Arroz con Pollo (Bill Delicate’s Version)
View recipe: Arroz con Pollo (Bill Delicate’s Version)From Mimi’s recipe box This struck my eye when I was going through Mimi’s recipe box, since as far as I knew no one in the family knew much about Spanish or Spanish cooking. I am not 100% sure who Bill Delicate was, but in discussion with my mom we are pretty sure that he…

Aunt Joan’s Orange Jello Salad
View recipe: Aunt Joan’s Orange Jello Saladrecipe from Deb Kohle My mother in law texted this one to me, saying I had to try it and that my daughter would love it. I usually refer to this type of recipe as a “Jello atrocity” but decided to give it a go! I honestly really like Jello, but it can get weird…
