Prologue

Every family has favourite recipes that have passed down through the generations. I have spent a good part of my life wishing someone in our family would take the time to compile some of their favourites.

As children we were encouraged to express ourselves through cooking. Many of these recipes have been tried, tested and loved by all. They have been expressed in a level that even the youngest reader can attempt their first creations without fear of failure.

Take this book and make it your recipe box, mark the recipes you love, add your own to the extra pages provided and encourage future generations to pass them on. A small wish but a great demand.

Our family is a circle of love and strength. With every birth and every union, the circle grows. Every joy shared adds more love. Every crisis faced together makes the circle stronger. Memories have been cherished as well as our recipes.

The belly rules the mind. ~Spanish Proverb

"If God had intended us to follow recipes,

He wouldn’t have given us grandmothers."

~Linda Henley

"Look to this day…. for yesterday is already a dream

and tomorrow is only a vision."

Chapter 1      Entrees

"As a child my family’s menu consisted of two choices:

take it or leave it." ~Buddy Hackett

Hint

Appetizers: dill pickles cut into 2 inch slices, hollow centres and fill with cottage cheese mixed with minced parsley, onion and green pepper.

Sensational Sausage Roll

1 package frozen puff pastry

½ cup finely chopped onion

1 pound pork sausage meat

1 egg, beaten

8 slices bacon

2 cups fresh mushrooms, sliced

Pepper to taste

Remove package of puff pastry from freezer 2 hours before cooking time. Cut a piece of brown paper to fit an edged cookie sheet. Fry bacon until crisp, drain, cool and crumble. Place in large bowl. Fry onion and mushrooms in bacon fat over medium heat for 3 – 4 minutes, drain and add to bowl. Add uncooked sausage meat and pepper to bowl. And mix well. Roll out puff pastry to fit the cookie sheet. Spread the meat mixture down the middle of the pastry. Cut the exposed pastry on each long side into 1
