How we are doing this!

We went to the index in the back of the book and started numbering 1-6 through the recipes, with each of us assigned a number and a day of the week (Monday-Saturday). Then we have assigned each week of the year a category from the cookbook. On our day we will choose a recipe we have been assigned from the assigned category for the week and make the recipe adapting as necessary (some of us have to deal with food sensitivities) and then blogging about the recipe.

Our Rating System

Here is a rundown of our rating system:

1-Why did I have to make this one, I plan to forget this ever happened.

2-If I have the ingredients I might make again

3-We liked this and plan to make again

4-This is going into my regular rotation, and I will share it with all my friends, and my life was never complete until I found this recipe!

About Us

Growing up we all watched our mothers use this old church cookbook to make various delectable foods. It contained many of our grandma's recipes, along with some that always seemed strange. The cookbook is a compilation of recipes from, mostly, farmer wives and country women who cooked from the heart with what was available. Many of the recipes are simple, but occasionally there was a complicated one with fancy ingredients that must have been difficult to locate. Often we have asked where a recipe is and the answer is to look in the church cookbook. Now we are all grown and have families of our own and spread across 4 states we wanted to make better use of the cookbook. So this is our adventure, to make most of the recipes in the cookbook over the next year and determine which ones are keepers and which need to be tossed, and which ones are a REAL adventure.
