what to do with old recipes?

Hi Nocci, First of all, Thanks for keeping all those old recipes. I was wondering if you could send me some. I love a good dish. I am diabetic but I also love to eat good food. I thought you might be able to copy those recipes and put them in a photo album. well, I haven't done that either but then I don't have many recipes. You could do like a scrapbook setting and put your Grandmothers picture on the front. Have a great day.... Jeanie

Hi Noccie,

Not sure how old you are, or if you have any children, but...I have some of my 91 year old mother's recipes, and some of my aunts. We are Italian, and love to cook, so I am putting together some of the oldest and best recipes and giving them to my 3 children. I think both of my sons and my daughter would love to have their grandmother, and great grandmothers recipes to use and pass on to their own children. I worry sometimes that people do not even know where their grandparents came from, what nationality they are, or what the foods are that define who they are and where they came from. Don't let that happen to you. Pass these recipes on to your children and your family members....let them know that their grandmothers and aunts made special food that brought their family together...keep that going. Celebrate your heritage with the recipes that these wonderful woman made for their families.

KEY WORDS: "my grandmother"...

YOU asked: "what to do with old recipes?" I HOPE you READ this!:

HERE is what you DO with 'old recipes'... especially if they are from your 'grandmother'!

1) You put them where they will be SAFE!

2) You TRY them... If YOU never got to 'savor the flavor' of what your 'grandmother' COOKED...in 1936... maybe you should give it a TRY! HOPEFULLY, it's NOT a COOKBOOK... Just (IMPORTANT POINT) YOUR 'Grandma's' way of DOING ... whatever...

3) MY 'MOM' was Born in 1925... And I am COLLECTING her RECIPES...

4) If YOU can't UNDERSTAND what I'm trying to SAY... SEND them to ME! I KNOW what to DO with them! YOU can contact me! I'ld be HAPPY to have them! e-mail me! If you are CLOSE enough, I'll PICK-UP... Or ... SEND...

I'm about 30 miles WEST of CLEVELAND, OHIO! TALK to ME!

i would display them in a old fashioned book case (you can find these in many antique stores) and use it as a "decoration" i cant really think of anything else to do with them other than throw em out! =D

if it were me and my son agreed frame some of them place them in the kitchen and swap them out by season and holiday.oh and when the ingredients are available and fresh!
