The first cookbook ever given to me was Kids Cooking for Kids. I still have it, with all of my own notes and recipe written in my own penmanship.
Every time I look through the cookbook, it brings a smile to my face. Now, my own children look through it and choose recipes to try on their own.
My breakfast "recipes" from childhood
One of the very first recipes I made by myself. From Kids Cooking for Kids.
For many years, the Army kept us away from Grammy's at Thanksgiving. This year, however, my family and I got to visit for Thanksgiving and my own children got to experience their very first Grammy Thanksgiving. Now, it wasn't the feast of Thanksgivings past... it was smaller, and partially catered. But a few favorite dishes graced us with their presence, and just being at Grammy's made it special.
One side dish that Grammy makes is turnips & carrots. It's very simple to do, but it's so delicious. Only five of us like it: My Grammy, my mother, my two children, and me. Maybe we can add you to that list.
Turnips & Carrots
What You Need:
- 3 turnips, peeled and cut into chunks
- 1 lb carrots, peeled and cut up
- 1/4 cup butter
- splash of milk
- salt to taste
- Boil turnips and carrots together until soft, about 20 to 30 minutes, then drain.
- Move to a mixing bowl and add milk, salt, and butter. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth.
