I was gathering these together for a dear friend and thought you might like them too.
If you have some yummy recipes, send 'em my way! I am always looking for some yummy food to make for my family. I love to cook and try new things. Sometimes I get a little too sensitive, if I'm being honest, because I view food and family dinners as a gift from my heart to the hearts of my family. I have such great memories of home cooked dinners and family dinner table convos and I want to make sure that our girls have those same memories.
Enjoy!! Let me know your thoughts and variations if you happen to try these out.
(Thanks, Carolyn, for such yummy family recipes you have shared with us!)
