Remembering what Mom Made
Over the past two years it has come up in conversation so many times, “Remember when Mom used to make this or that?” Or “What was that drink Dad used to make?” So many members in the family have commented on missing those memorable meals and desserts. So since I have collected so many of the old family recipes and prepare them often, I decided to make a cookbook which will include all of those amazing meals. I also am compiling photos of the preparation of the meals as well as what they will look like when they are completed.
I hope it will be a treasure for everyone to keep and use, especially the young ones who are getting married or starting families of their own and will be looking for those special treats to share with their little ones. It was going to be named the McMahon Family Recipes….. which is boring. Then my sister and I were talking about all the crazy and wonderful times we have spent at the Kitchen Table with Mom and Dad, and the sisters and our brother, and neighbors, and how there was always a baby needing attention or crying. That is when we decided on the name of the cookbook: The Kitchen Table Collection ~ A Collection of Recipes, Stories and Photographs. so…. if you have anything you would like to see included – such as a favorite recipe or memory – that just has to be put in there, don’t hesitate to comment and I will fit it in. I look forward to remembering with you and getting our stories in writing.
Bon Appetit.
