Have lost some of the great recipes your mother used to make but want them back

I have my Mom's recipe for sugar cookies, meat pie, sugar smack balls and chocolate sandwich cookies. My grandmother's recipes are the ones we can't duplicate because she had a lot of them just plain memorized and measured by look and feel. She made kuchen (coffee cakes), spaetzle (like little dumplings) and I couldn't even begin to make her homemade noodles or pie crusts. I would love to have her apple pie, I've never had one I liked as much. Miss her too. whit

Both my mother and grandmother were horrible cooks..if they could manage to burn water they would have... I fortunately must have inherited my great-grandmother's skills in cooking as she was known as THE cook of the family..unfortunately by the time I got into cooking myself my great-grandmother had long passed away, and as I said, my mother and grandmother never took interest in cooking so never could or would do any of the recipes she did--I had to kind of self-teach myself to cook

My two grandmothers used to make great recipes, and some of them, actually, a lot of them, have gone away with them to the grave, cuz nobody mastered them, or even wrote them down. It was hard to write them down though, cuz my grandmas used to bake approximately, like they knew how much of each ingredient to put, but if you asked them, they said they did it all in their heads. I can't do that,i definately need my recipe written!!

I use my grandma’s recipes. They are the best--- Luckily she has 5 daughters and each one had the recipes- 2 of my aunts have changed them up a bit- and passed them down to their kids—but my mom kept them the same and passed them to me. My mom made me this great recipe book--- she got a lot of recipes from everyone in the family—and wrote them in my book with the persons name. There were tons from my grandma (she had already passed away)--- it’s my favorite cookbook of all time. It’s the one I go to first for any recipe. I plan on passing mine down to my daughter-

My mother makes homemade cinnamon fried apple pies the old fashion way. From picking the apples from the orchard tree to making the dough too. My mother had a friend that had a recipe that belong to her mother, so this recipe is some 100 years old. As my mother really enjoyed the recipe, she added a touch of her own. The pies were so good she started setting up at crafts show and holy behold the sold. Believe it or not sold a 1000 fried turnovers in two days @ $1.50 each.

I don't have any of my mother's recipes. I had one or two years ago but have no idea where they might be now. I don't think she really followed a recipe for much of anything, she just threw stuff together (much like I do) She does make awesome fudge and I could never get it to come out right. I think I'm too impatient (like I was with the bread). I'll have to ask Mom for it, or maybe my sisters have it. I'd like to try it again.

Hi Doll I still make many of Ma's favorites but not from recipes Neither my Ma or my grandmother or Granmama ever used recipes They all just through things together with a handfull of this and a pinch of that. xoxoxoxoxoxox

I don't follow much of my mother's recipes but have learnt a chosen few.
