Gratitude
"Gratitude
unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into
enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order,
confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a
home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past,
brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow."
~ Melody Beattie

In Memoriam:
Some mornings you can just feel it...
Our recipe collection includes hundreds of family recipes passed down
through the generations, as well as a vast personal collection from a
variety of sources, including major food publications and innumerable
cookbooks (many of which are now either out of print or very difficult
to locate). Like all cooks, we have accumulated some favorite recipes
from unknown or long-forgotten sources as well. Every possible effort
has been made to identify the source of each recipe and to give credit
where credit is due.
