Old-Fashioned Family Recipes

Anyone who knows me knows how much I love to cook. Food and recipes are such an integral part of our family history memories, I felt it deserves some special recognition. In our Old-Fashioned Recipe Collection we have acquired recipes by some of my fellow genealogists. Recipes that have been handed down through generations, others acquired through their own family history research. You can search the recipe list here and make something special tonight for dinner.


I'm always eager to hear from my readers, whether it is just to say Hello, or ask a question or if your looking for information that perhaps I can help you with. Regardless, don't be shy. You can leave a note in comments, say Hi on Facebook, tweet me here, or for a more private message send me an email at lynnpalermo@eastlink.ca.

Thanks for stopping by I really do appreciate it.
