My mom is constantly trying new recipes and we usually share back and forth if one of us finds something we like. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-received-family-recipes#post-358027 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 11:11:52 +0000 Mrsbells 358027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In my family we dont cook with written recipes, my mom calls it cooking from the heart, we just taste as we go along but I do have some mental recipe guidelines from her </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-received-family-recipes#post-358025 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 11:11:40 +0000 Minnie_Girl 358025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I try to collect all of the really great family recipes!

He is a good cook! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-received-family-recipes#post-358016 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 11:08:29 +0000 Alivoo01 358016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, and I'm dying to learn how to make my dad's cooking. It's omg droolicious good. He cooks by "tasting" so even when he tries teaching me, something changes everytime and he doesn't know exact measurements. I cook my following instructions, can't cook by tasting. ARG!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-received-family-recipes#post-357960 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 10:54:00 +0000 mediagirl 357960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't really want any of my MIL's recipes.... My Gram handed down two of my favorite desserts she makes to me at my bridal shower, though. I was so happy!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-received-family-recipes#post-357948 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 10:50:53 +0000 Arden 357948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My MIL's food is terrible, but I take her recipes and completely change them (it always shocks and amazes DH when I make one of his mother's dishes and it tastes 500 times better).</p> <p>My mom never really cooked, she taught me and then quit. But I still make things she taught me as a five or six year old, like pasta fagiole. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-received-family-recipes#post-357940 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 10:48:11 +0000 mrsjyw 357940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i know a lot of my mom's recipes because she taught me as i was growing up... but there are still some i'd really like to learn.</p> <p>MIL's staples are something i've been trying to get for years now; and i still haven't been able to get them from her (just because she has them scattered around and wants to make me a book of them.)</p> <p>do you have a book of family recipes on hand? </p>
