Today's post is inspired by the weekly writing prompts by Mama Kat-
Share a favorite childhood recipe.
My mom was a baker. Especially at Christmas. I would help her bake dozens and dozens of cookies- sugar cookie cut-outs, Buckeye Balls, Russian Tea Cookies, gingersnaps, Peanut Blossoms...oh my, yum! The baking would go on for weeks, and we would freeze as we went.
I am lucky enough to be in possession of several of my mother's handwritten recipes. The baked goods themselves may not be extraordinary, but I simply LOVE that they are in her handwriting. Seeing her neat script instantly warms my heart, and reminds me of all the "I love you's" in birthday cards, letters she sent my when I was in college, and the notes in my baby book.
Pure nostalgia.
So thankful for these old, stained pieces of her.
Every holiday season I bring out these treasured recipe cards and bake with my own children. I hope they are building the same kind of strong memories that I have!
Do you still use a recipe from your childhood?
