My Mom's Favorite Recipes

avatar

Cookbook by

Stacky5

Recipes handed down from my Mother, Jolean, and my Grandmother, Nana...Tried and true family favorites given to me from the best cook I've ever known - My Mom! These are some of her best and her favorite recipes that I've picked and treasured for years, and I still make them all today! NOTE: Some of these recipes have already been posted on Zaar, and I did not want to duplicate, so I saved them here...Since my Mom made these exact recipes too! (That beautiful photo on the cover is courtesy of Sandi from CA, of my Mom (Jolean's) Chili recipe.)
