@Mom2Dogs  - you read my mind...when I read these posts, I was going to mention the same thing you did...I saw the Etsy commercial where they showed a plate with a handwritten recipe transposed onto it and loved that idea.  I have some recipes in my late grandmother's writing that I would love to have put on a plate and give out as gifts to family members.  Maybe next Christmas I'll do that as I saw the commercial too late to do it this year but thought it was a wonderful idea. 

I, too, have several treasured family recipes that I love to make, especially at holiday time.  Food, like music, can really transform you back to a specific time and place in your past, can't it?!

When my mother passed away a couple of years ago, I made sure to grab her recipe boxes. I have been craving some really good banana cake and remember that my great aunt was the best baker in the world, so I sorted through the recipes and I found hers!

But, just seeing the recipes hand-written by my mom, my grandmothers and even my own printing brought back such lovely memories. I will be passing this treasure box to my niece at some point and hope that she will cherish them, as well. They won't mean as much to her since she never had the food that goes with the recipes, but I am hoping she can make some new memories with her young family.

I did have to laugh at how horribly unhealthy these are, and I can't wait to make some!

I hope everyone has a delicious and delightful holiday!

My grandma made the best pie crust using lard. Healthy ?  No, but so flaky and delicious !

Used to be that's the only way it was made. You fried meat in pig lard, made biscuits, pie crusts, cookies, etc.   People didn't worry about all that stuff back then.

My sister has my grandmother's recipes.  She said it's old and worn.  Some things are difficult to read.  My grandmother made a walnut bread.  I can picture her in the kitchen working on the dough, getting it soooo thin.  Then using this old hand grinder to crush the walnuts.  Delicious!

"Armour lard is fully hydrogenated and contains zero trans fats.

Fully hydrogenated lard is different than partially hydrogenated oils, which are chemically altered and contain trans fatty acids."

Not too much to worry about!  Enjoy!

I've never worried about it.  And I DO enjoy.

I don't even want to imagine tortillas made without lard.
