If you’ve followed any of my posts, you know that I love old-fashioned and nostalgic recipes. Cooking is such a powerful way of connecting to each other, and using recipes that are passed down from generation to generation is a great way to connect to the people who came before us.
They, like us, loved life and loved doing and feeding the people they loved. Using their recipes are a great way to honor their memories. Of course, our tastes have changed and styles of food have evolved and a lot of recipes have fallen out of fashion. These recipes are all classics that have a bit of a modern spin on them. They hold onto tradition while adapting to our tastes today.
