A Shoe Box of Recipes

Yes! I was lucky enough to get a shoe box full of handwritten recipes at an estate auction. The lady had been a momm a school teacher, and an active church member, so the box is loaded with recipes.

Now I simply do not have the time to test and photo all of these right now, but I am busily entering them into my Diet Pro program, so that they will be saved.

I thought it would be fun to share them, even if I don';t get them tested immediately, so I will aim to do share some each week.

Here is one that sounds yummy.
