Family Recipes


I cooked Cabbage rolls (or stuffed cabbage) yesterday. I usually do not cook them but I felt like something different, plus they are one of the few foods that taste just as good, if not better the day after. It is a recipe I got from my grandmother (she calls it Pigs in a Blanket). She said it is an old German recipe she got from my her mother-in-law and or Great Grandmother. I guess this recipe will be something I pass down to my little girl. So many things now days are not passed down. My other grandmother died almost 2 years ago and I wish will all my heart that she had taught me some of her cooking secrets or taught them to my mom so that she could have taught them to me. But she is gone and her secrets went with her. I have her old recipe book but many of the things she would cook were habit and she did not measure any of the ingredients. I long for some of her buttermilk biscuits sometimes. I know the ingrediaents she used I just don;t know how much she used. I am hopeful that one day I will figure it out.
