I come from and married into a long line of kitchen whizzes about whom my grandpa used to say, “You girls can’t help being good cooks.” One of my family’s most-turned-to recipe books is a Taste of Home hardcover of annual prizewinning recipes my mother gave our daughters.
Most of my favorite recipes are adaptations, but I do have a few originals. My go-to when I’m hungry and in a hurry is either my folders and files, our Taste of Home or Desperation Dinners cookbooks, or the Taste of Home website (http://www.tasteofhome.com) which my mother-in-law inadvertently directed me to when she clipped and shared recipes from their magazine.For Mexican recipes, I go to https://www.cooking-mexican-recipes.com/author/rockinrobin/
My husband makes my current favorite recipe: scrambled eggs with spinach, onion and cheese. I was diagnosed with osteoporosis this winter, so I’m watching caffeine. This breakfast is a good jumpstart on my calcium for the day and delicious to boot! He boils, drains and rinses the spinach before adding it to the eggs to reduce oxalates, which decrease calcium absorption.
Two of my daughters love to cook but not to put my recipes away. This Thanksgiving I had to look at my own site for my own turkey recipe, so I have great incentive to post our favorite recipes, especially since I usually tweak them. When my daughters “lose” them, there’s nowhere I can find a replacement.
