Family Recipe Friday

I recently visited my parents home for more research time and took advantage of some of the recipes boxes my mom has from my Aunt Betty (my grandfather’s sister – she was the family cook).

She had bookshelves full of these boxes! As I said, she was THE cook of the family. Here are two of my favorite recipes of hers:
