My much used applewood recipe box… crafted from an old apple tree by husband, Rob.    As you can see – the most favourite recipes can hardly be read due to the finger smudges!

 Often I get emails or calls from the kids asking for a family recipe. I hunt through my old recipe box for that particular recipe and after squinting through all the smudges on the index cards I type and email it to the kids.  Part of the reason for this blog is to have an electronic family recipe box available to all our children and to share them with others who enjoy wholesome foods .
