A blogging event near and dear!

Last month, Laura of The Spiced Life, held an event called Grandma's Recipes. Laura decided to host this event because her grandmother (whom she had lost not too long ago) had been on her mind a lot. I immediately knew I would participate in this event because my grandmother is, in a large part, inspiration for my own blog. My grandmother has been gone from my life for a longer period of time, but there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of her. Today, I live only two miles down the road from her home and only two miles away from where I grew up. So, on a daily basis I am flooded with memories of my youth. Gee, I said that like I was really old or something!

I am very excited to announce that after after a few email exchanges with Laura we have decided to make this a monthly event! However, to open the door for more people to participate, we have decided to change the event to Family Recipes: Memories of Family, Food and Fun. This means the recipe can be your own, your mother, your grandmother, your daughter, your aunt (or male counterparts of all these!) feel free to even include your in-laws! I know I intend to drag Kristina (my DIL) into this if I can!

I want to shout out a special thanks to Josie (who is Laura's sister) of
1 Kitchen, 2 Dogs and a Girl for creating our logo for us!
