Do you have any special recipes passed down to you?

recipe nerd
I am a total recipe nerd. The other day in the mail I received a letter and packed inside were these lovelies...
..my heart skipped a beat!! How precious are recipes that someone shares with you? I especially love when they are handwritten because there is something very personal and old-fashion about it that way. These recipes are from Nate's Aunt Mary. I begged her to send me some of her recipes-you would have too if you had tasted her buckeyes, white cake and sugar cookies! The woman is an amazing baker! I cannot wait to make all of these-but in the meantime I will daydream about displaying them on something like this (can you tell I adore Sur La Table..luckily I can type the name rather than say it-still figuring out how to pronounce that one!) as I stare at them all scattered about on my table because they make me feel loved and happy just by looking at them!! Thank you Aunt Mary...I LOVE them!!

Sir - lah - tahb, or if you really want to get frenchy, sir-lah-TAH-bluh. I still use my grandma's creole recipes. Planning to pass them on to my daughters too.
As the oldest granddaughter I was taught how to make my grandma's "Turkey Cookies" a few years ago. They are her own sugar cookie and frosting recipes that she has used over 50 years. People often ask me if they are made with turkey--NO, they are shaped like turkeys and decorated with different colors and each color with a particular tip. I have made them every year since I have been married and out of town family members want me to mail some to them at Thanksgiving every year. It is a beloved family tradition.
The next recipe I need from her is her Lemon Meringue Pie!
I also make my other grandma's homemade chocolate syrup to go with my aunt's homemade ice cream.
YUM!
Angela...thank you! Now I won't have to mumble under my breath when I want to talk about the store:)
Amy-ummm those cookies sound amazing!! So fun!!
