I found this at my local library and ordered it before I even had to return it. I love the stories told about the recipes and those who contributed them. I have done the same over the years for my daughters and hope they enjoy it as much I have these. My mom is gone but her handwritten recipes live on. Yes, I sometimes cry when I look at them and remember the good times we had making them, but I am so blessed to have such wonderful memories. That is what this book evokes for me. I love Grana's Grown-up Mac and Cheese, Squash Casserole and Broccoli Cheese Soup among others. I also got the companion At My Grandmother's Knee as well. Both are wonderful and will be passed to my daughters with notations in both books of when I made them, who was there and my own little stories throughout. Cookbooks are time capsules. Write in yours and make it special! --L.G.M

This book is great. I had checked it out at my local library & ended up ordering it for myself. It does have a lot of recipes that call for box cake mixes but they are all great recipes. A mix of desserts & savory dishes. I have 4 kids & we enjoy quick things we can whip up & most things we have on hand. --Tessa
