My Mothers’ Kitchens

About this ebook
This is a collection of recipes that my mother, grandmothers, great-grandmothers, aunts and great-aunts cooked again and again. Some of them date back to the Civil War. Many were taught to cook using these time tested treasures and this book was created to preserve them and pass them down to the next generation of cooks. These recipes are family favorites and are still made today. These include Curried Shrimp, Beef Stroganoff, Macaroni and Cheese, Pulled Sweet and Sour Beef, and the most luscious chocolate Cake ever tasted. Some of them are new favorites that have been added such as Cranberry Chicken, Lasagna Blanca, Blackberry Muffins and Key Lime Cake.

Dedication
To my mother, aunts, great aunts, grandmothers and great-grandmothers for all their treasured recipes.
Author’s Acknowledgements and Thanks
To my mother for her valuable expertise and ideas during my endless development of this book.
I learned to cook and bake from the recipes in my mother’s and grandmother’s recipe boxes. Inside them were treasure troves of recipes that dated back to the Civil War. I wanted to not only preserve them but all to share them with others. The recipes in this book are from those recipe boxes with a few of my own thrown in.
