Grandma's Vintage Recipes

This blog is for the posting of Vintage Recipes. I have inherited recipes from both my grandmothers, mother, aunts, etc over the years. I am also a cookbook collector with several old cookbooks in my possession. My goal here is to share with you older recipes that have been lost to many. I hope you will enjoy my blogs and some old memories will be revived by some of the recipes. Note:To save the vintage value of these recipes, I make no changes. You see the original recipe as written.

HEALTH UPDATE

Thanks to all who have been faithful to this site during my absence. I had a very major operation on March 30 and I'm just able to get back to the computer. My recovery is going well but is slow. Forgive me if I get behind over the next few weeks. And thanks to all of you who let me know you were thinking of me and/or praying for me. I sure do appreciate it.
