1998, Cookies, Mom, Tracy and Vern

Tracy included this cookie recipe in the 1998 edition of the family recipe collection. I must be honest. This cookie wasn’t one of my favorites. Maybe it’s because they seemed too dry to me. Not sure if that’s accurate anymore as it’s been so long since I had one. It also occurs to me that you could take care of the dryness by drizzling some rum or bourbon on them. Would that add to the Christmas cheer?

1998, Bread, Tracy and Vern

Another recipe from 1998. I don’t remember this bread from my childhood years. I’m guessing this is one Tracy really likes and added it to the family recipe collection. I may need to give it a go.

1998, Mom, Side Dish, Tracy and Vern, Turkey

Thanksgiving. What a wonderful time of year as it marks the beginning of the holiday season!

Like many in the US, we celebrated with the traditional Thanksgiving meal of turkey and all the fixings to include the coveted turkey dressing.

This recipe is part of the 1998 collection.

1998, Beef, Dinner, Tracy and Vern

Growing up in Wisconsin, this was one of my favorite meals. It’s just good comfort food.

After I was out on my own, I continued to make it from time to time. It’s been many years since I last made this so it was wonderful to have all the memories come flooding back as I was posting this recipe.

This recipe is part of the 1998 collection. Again, thank you, Tracy, for doing this for our family.

This recipe was the first one listed in the first edition of the Tracy’s Christmas cookbook. So began an annual tradition that celebrated 20-years of recipes in 2018.

I have no idea the origin of this recipe. This recipe has been in our family for years as I remember from my youngest years Mom making them. The photo I used was the best representation of these treats.

Many thanks to my sister, Tracy, for starting this and shepparding it through all the years!

In the first edition of the family recipe collection in 1998, Tracy put in her most loved recipes from our childhood. This is another good one that I continued to make after heading out on my own.

Like the Texas Hash, I made this for several years as my own family was growing but it’s been several years since I last made this one. I may have to give it a go in the near future.

1998, BBQ Sauce, Tracy and Vern

Another 1998 recipe. I haven’t made this one but it sounds very close to what I’ve made. I’m sure it’s pretty tasty!

1998, 2019, American, Cookies, Dave, Mom

Like the Christmas Nut Thins, French Butter Horns were made every holiday season while growing up in Wisconsin. These cookies are pastry-based, light, and very delicious. This recipe was part of the 1998 inaugural edition of the family recipe collection.

While they’re good, these also require a bit more labor to make them. It’s worth though.

1998, 2019, American, Cookies, Dave, Mom

Gotta love cookies and especially during the holidays. Growing up, our Mom would make all sorts of deliciousness for the holidays. My sisters and I would be expected to help in various ways. It might be mixing, frosting, or, in my case, conducting quality control on the cookies. Yum! Yep, everyone was expected to help.
