Everyone in our family knows if you like a soft sugar cookie these are the best surgar cookies you will ever eat, hands down.  The key is the final milk to flour ratio.  Bake one cookie, if it is too flat add flour. Not flat enough more milk.

I feel sorry for anyone that did not get the chance to stand by while Aunt Marg made these cookies.  While we all struggle to get the ingredients measured out just right Aunt Marg would just grab the ingredients and throw them together.  The first time I tried making the cookies from an actual recipe card they just didn’t taste right (they were terrible). The problem was when the ingredients were put down on the card the salt was missed.

If you like mashed potatoes, but cannot use milk and butter this recipe is one that everyone seems to like, especially if you like garlic.  The key is one strange ingredient, mayonnaise.  Mayo seems to give you the mouth feel of butter giving you the experience of regular creamy mashed potatoes. The recipe is not real precise, but add the ingredients slowly and your taste buds will tell you when you have the right amounts.

This is a banana muffin recipe Erin discovered that has a yummy streusal topping.  It is now my favorite thing to do with aging bananas. No more banana bread!

Salmon Patties have become a real family favorite.  There is one ingredient that may surprise you, but it is the one that adds that little extra. If you have people with any kind of appetite at all double the batch and make bigger patties.
