These mocha bars were one of my grandmother’s favorites to serve when friends and family would come over for coffee. The recipe is from a community cookbook compiled by the ladies sewing circle of the small rural church she attended.

Sometimes our holiday memories involve more than just the food.  For Holly, the Ukrainian Borscht she makes each Easter is only part of the tradition. 

This recipe for Falcone’s Sunday Sauce with Poached Eggs is a beautiful example of a time-honored family recipe.

Sometimes we are blessed to add family members by choice.  These are a very special breed of people who are not related by blood and yet pull you into their lives as family. 

Every day at 3:00 PM Grandma Knutson would lay the table with coffee and treats for whoever decided to stop by. And at Christmas time Jule Kake (Christmas Bread) adorned the coffee-time table.

This simple cranberry sauce recipe inspired a project. A project whose goal is to document, preserve and celebrate family recipes.
