7 lines on a recipe card that I will try to help you make sense of….
Bran Muffins
Another from Sara’s kitchen.
Marshmallow Squares
A favorite of all kids.
Lime Salad
Seems like a sly attempt to get a kid to eat more vegetables.

Cottage Cheese Salad
Look, another card form Sara’s Kitchen next door. Someone please tell me if you try this one, because I can’t do these textures together.

Some sensible, yummy substitutions make these a bit healthier. I mean, let’s face it, there’s like a pound of butter in this recipe, but what the heck, right?!
Honey Chicken Wings
Another card from next door neighbour Sara.
Oatmeal Cake
Marked as coming from Lorna.
Pickled Beets

A recipe from Wendy, former co-worker in the insurance agency.
Bits & Bites ( Nuts & Bolts )
Vanita had several versions of this recipe in her card box, but this was the one that, when we arrived at Christmas, if it wasn’t ready yet, she’d hand over this card and tell me to finish making it. It’s noted as being from Joyce.
Carrot Cake
Who doesn’t love a good carrot cake, especially with cream cheese frosting?
