11. A lot of them are handwritten

Some of the recipes were nicely detailed

I have a lot of my Gram's and my Mom's handwritten recipes. I also have some recipe books I saved from my childhood kitchen. I love coming across Mom or Gram's handwriting beside a recipe, usually a one word comment, "Good" I make a few recipes they used. Feel like I'm spending some quality time with them

A few years ago, I made a document with all of my favorite recipes (or things the family asked for) I printed it out for my daughters, and sent a copy of the recipes to my niece. It's saved on my laptop. Our eating habits have changed quite a bit over the last 10 years and although it's fun to have the memories, I don't think the recipes are much used now.

One of these days, I will take the time to take pictures of the cookbooks and share.
