My Mom was a fantastic ranch cook with a pie recipe dating back to 1952–she got it from our family doctor’s wife, Mrs. Barglow who was from Germany.
So I decided to make a cookbook of Mom’s recipes for a Christmas gift for family members. It turned out so beautiful that I want to offer it to anyone who would like a copy.
It is full color and 20 pages of pie, cake and Christmas candy recipes in my Mom’s own handwriting–I scanned her recipe cards with smears and stains of many years of use.

I will continue producing a new cookbook once a year until I run out of recipes. Another really special recipe she used regularly is a roll recipe that was my Grandma Horner’s, so I will probably do breads next year!
