family meals
Our family’s goal is to eat more meals with each other, and we are gradually making that goal a reality. Here’s a summary of how I feel about feeding my family, from my post on the subject
We have to work. We even buy McDonald’s sometimes. But when we can slow down and simplify, we do. You’re not alone! Seek the comfort and support of friends. And when you need it, extra help is there for the taking.
These are posts that include ideas for how to spice up family meals in your home, including recipes your kids can help make:

heritage recipes
I’ve loved heritage recipes from before I got my much-loved Beekman cookbook, but I like them even more so now. Like with posts about the girls’ milestones, I would love for kids to one day view the blog’s recipes as a resource to them of what we made together as a family over the years and the ones that have been passed down to us from generations ago. Below are the family recipes I’ve collected and cataloged so far:
Annie’s Orange Cake
Aunt El’s Cinnamon Rolls
Aunt El’s Corn Pudding
Babci’s Gwumpki
Babci’s High-Rising Yeast Bread
Grandma Bonnie’s Chicken Boobs
Grandma Bonnie’s Meatballs
Grandma Jane’s Blueberry Cobbler
Grandma Louise’s Brisket
Grandma Louise’s Beef Vegetable Soup
Grandma Louise’s Chicken Soup with Rice
Grandpa Jim’s Buttered Popcorn
