My Grandma passed away at the age of 94. She was a wonderful cook and I was lucky enough to inherit her recipes. Many date back to the 1940s and 50s. Grandma prepared them in a charming country kitchen with no running water and most of her produce came from her garden, not from the grocery store. These are made-from-scratch recipes. I wish I had spent more time with her in the kitchen and . . . I wish I had spent more time with her for so many other reasons.

Grandma in the Kitchen

Is there any better way to spend time with your kids or grandkids than cooking with them in the kitchen?  My grandma would let my sister and me help her with her cooking.  We helped with cinnamon rolls, pies, and all kinds of desserts.  Looking back, she probably had to redo so many things once we strayed from the kitchen.

My kids grew up cooking with me in the kitchen and all three are perfectly able to make a meal (other than Mac & Cheese and hot dogs).  I admit, there were trying moments, but cooking together helped build our relationships.  I am looking forward to cooking in the kitchen with my grandkids!
