Dee Recipes Week

Dee was my Mother in Law. She had seven children,Three girls and four boys. Her husband and his father and brother lived in their home also. Because her family was so large she was in the kitchen a lot. During her life she gave me lots of her recipes.That was so I could spoil her son. Now my hubby has such fond memories of her food. some times I make something and his memories just flood back. All the kids asked if I knew some of her recipes. Last year at the reunion they where talking about this dish and that dish. I knew I had most all of those recipes. So I thought while I was away at this years family reunion I would schedule some of her recipes to post. I will post a few while at the reunion. I hope the girls remember to bring some of theirs so I can add them later.
Each time a different photo will be posted also. Now let's have a walk back in time when we had good eats!
