Our Cookbook Blog

Our Cookbook ~ What We Cook, is a compilation of every recipe we (Janice and Carissa) cook - recipes from our cookbook collections, our recipe boxes, and our heads! We set up this blog for friends and family who have our cookbook to let them see pictures we post of the recipes in the book, and also for us to note any corrections, revisions, or additions to What We Cook. We encourage people who are cooking our recipes to let us know how the recipes turn out and any suggestions they might want to make.

In addition, we will be sharing some of our new recipes (along with pictures) that are not in our cookbook. We hope you will help us out and test recipes and give us your comments.

The Girls

I just realized that I had not added any recent pics of the girls cooking..so here they are making bread the other day!  





Girl's Tea Party


Having water tea at Grandmother's house

Oops, it spilled...


That's ok, just lick it up!





These girls can have all sorts of fun with just a pot of water...


If you want my two girls hanging on you in the kitchen, all you have to do it pull out the flour!
This was just a couple weeks ago...we are trying to get all of our money out of the Christmas PJ's even though it is Februrary! 

Here is Evelyn helping me put biscuits in the oven...yes, those are heart shaped biscuits.  When I pulled out the circle cookie cutter both girls looked at me like I was such a boring mom.  Lillian signed then got off her stool and got into my drawer of cutters and pulled out the heart shaped cutters.

Lillian LOVED helping make meatballs the other day!  She thought the cookie scooper was very cool.


Lillian sold 2 baskets of our Thin and Crispy Oatmeal Cookies last summer at Grandmother's garage sale!

The girls take a morning ride on Pops.
