Why are we doing this??????

I was struggling for a way to capture my recipes so that my family is able to re-create the foods they grew up eating.  Both daughters have spent time with me in the kitchen, yet I wanted to capture the recipes I have developed over my adult life.

My mom wasn't gifted in the kitchen and my father would make stew and such occasionally, so I pretty much started from scratch.   When we first got married, I could do a mean Mac and Cheese (still do.....), and that was about it.  We couldn't afford beef, so I learned how to cook whole chickens first.

My mother in law was a skilled cook and taught Gigi how to make many things.  Gigi brought most of our initial recipes to the kitchen when we were first married (at 20).

I also I wished to consolidate my electronic and social footprint, provide a hub for All Things Tiplady.
