Inspiration for your Imagination...
Recipe Cards
{PROJECT PAGE}

     One of the popular trends in scrapbooking is preserving family recipes. Those recipes shared among family members and handed down from previous generations are a very important part of our heritage. Have you ever noticed one of the fun things we like to talk about at family gatherings is Grandma's cooking or Aunt Mary's special casserole.

     Why not gather recipes from other friends and family at your next get-together? It's a wonderful and creative way to preserve those treasured recipes.

     Talk to other family members about your idea of preserving family recipes and they may share some ideas of what to include. You might be surprised at how many recipes you already have tucked into the pages of your own cookbooks.

Ramona used the Apron Pocket pattern for these clever recipe holders. The recipe itself is printed on a plain card stock then the edges are inked to coordinate with the apron card.  She attached one of the oven mitts to the ingredient list so it can be easily pulled from the pocket, plus it looks just so cute.

Buttercream Frosting Recipe...

Whisk together in a saucepan 5 Tbsp flour and a cup of milk. Cook over medium heat until starting to thicken and cook for a minute or two more- don’t let it get too thick or it will be too stiff when it cools. Turn into a flattish dish (like an old-fashioned soup plate) and let cool, stirring now and again. If the roux is lumpy when it cools, just press it through a fine sieve.

Beat together a cup of unsalted butter and a cup of granulated sugar until light (you really need an electric hand mixer or stand mixer for this).

Beat in the cooled roux about tablespoons at a time. As you beat and add the roux, the frosting turns creamy instead of grainy from the sugar (I don’t know how it does that! It’s like a small, wonderful miracle.)

Add 1-2 tsp. vanilla and beat some more until it’s light and creamy.

In the Kitchen
by Lori L Moore
Submitted by Ramona

Love, was understood, in the kitchen. Where bread and cakes and pies and everday thoughts filled the air and senses.

Common Sense was taught, in the kitchen. More through action, than words. Grandma’s ways were revered in the kitchen. From a touch of this, to a dash of that, to a “good girl would never.”

Love was understood in the kitchen. Passed down, one recipe at a time.
