Decorate with Family Recipes

College photo of my grandmother- Lovely handwriting!

This idea gives you a creative way to preserve and display family recipes. Here are the steps to honor the cooks of your past:

• Determine the space available to display recipes.

• Purchase small frames. I chose frames with clips which are easy to assemble.

• Choose a recipe from each relative. Hand-written ones gives us a sense of the loved one's personality.

• Cut paper or thin fabric to make a background that coordinates with your kitchen.

• Place the original or a scanned copy of the recipe on the background.

• Add a small picture. It is nice to use a photo of the recipe's author if you have one.

To the right is a "Jam Cake" recipe written by my husband's grandmother. It seemed fitting to use a childhood photo of my husband's father. He must have just loved it when his mama made cake!
