We still use my great, great grandmother's recipe for pierogies. But it's not a secret, LOL, it's just water, flour, and salt.

I also am of partial Polish decent. I have not had fresh, frozen, or home made Perogies for many years. Noone else in my family really likes them all that much. My grandma and mom made cheese and polish sausage filled ones that were fantastic.
HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

My mom always made a great biscuit and gravy breakfast.
She used bacon and the bacon grease in the mixture as well.
It is a great tasting meal.
My wife tries her best but it never tops my moms.
We mostly eat this as dinner not breakfast.
HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

It's not a secret. I like to make my grandmother's tea cakes. Whenever I am down and out or just plain bored I go in the kitchen and make me some of those famous tea cakes and get me a cup of coffee sit back relax. They take the edge off the bad moment at that time.

Its not really a secret but my family still uses my Great-Grandma recipe for sugar cookie dough and tea cake dough. I have to ask my dad for the recipe I don't have it. My Aunt is the best baker, she has all the old family recipes when it comes to baking. She makes everything from scratch, even the icing.
OMG I really want one of her cakes now!! LOL!!

My family has a secret recipe that started with my grandparents or maybe earlier. It's an Indonesian croquet that tastes delicious! My mom never officially passed the recipe down to me or my sister but I more or less figured it out =D. I wish I could share it with you all, but I'm sure my mom would get really angry lol.
