For the second year in a row I decided to continue the tradition of making some recipes from my grandmother’s collection. This year I made her Savory Noodles and Pork (substituted beef) and her Orange Chiffon Pie.
Back in March I helped my parents clean out the garage. We ended up finding a small metal tin full of recipe cards. They belonged to my paternal grandmother Marie, who passed away when my father was only 12 years old. It came with us from Wisconsin in the mid nineties when we cleaned out my grandfather’s house and sat in the garage for 25 years. It looked like it had barely been touched since the 1950’s. It was still organized in alphabetical order and most cards were in her handwriting.
I took photographs of a few of the recipes and I decided to make her macaroni and cheese with chocolate cake over the Christmas holiday.
