I have been cooking for my family for many years and as the kids grew they would ask me for certain recipes. They kept telling to me write a cookbook. So I did! Each chapter describes some of the recipes and even some memories associated with them. I started with appetizers (Mom's Apps), salad and soup chapters. And a chapter for beef, chicken, egg, pork and seafood dishes. I put the meatloaf and meatballs in a separate chapter because most recipes can be made into a loaf or meatballs. I also included a chapter dedicated to Thanksgiving and Christmas, that is usually the only time I cook these. Finally, I included a chapter "Total Beverages, Breads and Dessert", that includes specialty drinks and fun treats.
