- Family and FriendsThis is a collection of recipes from family and friends and stuff just found along the way.
There are handwritten recipes from long-gone relatives and things we’ve recently found. There’s no real rhyme or reason to anything other than they’re things we like. - Family Reunion Recipes 1Family recipes from our first Family Reunion at Fort Robinson, Nebraska in 1986.
They run the gamut from savory to sweet – with something for everyone. - Family Reunion Recipes 2Back to Fort Robinson in 1996!
More fun foods. - Little Gram's Cookbook“Little Gram” was Mary Ferante, nee Taomina. She was our sister-in-law Marie’s Grandmother, and, while not exactly a blood relation to us, was nevertheless “Little Grandma” to us as well. She was spry, active, and ready to talk politics or cooking right up to her passing in July 2008 at 105. Yes, one hundred and five.

The villa is located in Modica, province of Ragusa, in Sicily – in the southeastern corner of the island. Close to Syracusa, Catania, and easy driving to Mount Etna, it’s the perfect location.
Our hosts, George and his lovely wife, Antonella, were the epitome of Sicilian hospitality. - Other StuffOdds and Ends From Who Knows Where...
This is a collection of recipes I have had on my computer for years. And years. I am not sure where most of them ever came from. I think a lot of them were collected as ideas for work back in the days when we created recipes. Some of them worked their way into the house under a different guise and a lot of them have never been made in their posted form.
As Jacques Pepin always says… Happy Cooking!
