Thank you for sharing your mom's recipes with us. My dad was the baker in the family (biscuits, bread, pancakes), but never used recipes. I'm grateful that when I came home from college I made him write some of them out for me. Now whenever I make biscuits (and always on his birthday), that distinctive handwriting and those smells bring him back. I'm keeping a notebook with my own recipes (and his) that my kids will have to fight over after I'm gone. And I wouldn't object if you turned MFTU into a newsletter about food and baking--could be a public service announcement (with guitars)!
Love the sentiment. Thanks for sharing. Need my mom to immortalize her rolls recipe so all the family can make sure her legacy is preserved. Share the Turkey Tetrazzini recipe and I know what I’ll do with some leftover turkey in the freezer!
I'm relieved about the spam salad surprise but, more than that, I'm seeing the notes and clippings my mom assembled over the years, her handwriting, the gravy stains, the crossed-out ingredients and substitutions. It's a fine legacy and as close to having her near as it gets. Loved this.

Thank you, Angie! So many memories associated with food, especially this time of year when its peak baking season.

Ha! Be careful what you ask for...

Thanks, Betsy! It's a real treasure.
