History of Cookbook

History

I have been cooking since I was 10 years old when I joined a 4-H club over 50 years ago. We lived on a farm and my job was to make simple meals quickly for my parents and hired hands. Over the years I have saved recipes that I like and that worked for my family, changing them to work with the new appliances and new available products. For quite some time I have had people say, "Why don't you write a cookbook?"

Finally, with the advent of my oldest grandson graduating from college, I decided to make a cookbook up for him. When his cousins and friends saw it, they all wanted one as it seemed to be geared to what they were looking for - a cookbook that was easy to use, recipes that didn't have too many ingredients and only a few servings, and quick. Quick seemed to be the operative word along with delicious -nutritious isn't usually in their vocabulary, but I tried for that anyway.

So with much trepidation, I embarked on this cookbook. If it serves the purpose for which it was created, I will feel I reached my goal.

Family, friends, and any who use this book, enjoy!!!
