September 2007 Family Cookbook

In the summer of 2007, with her own bun in the oven, Amy collected recipes from family and typed them all up.

“We were always looking up the same recipes. I’d call Mom on the phone to say, ‘Hey, where’s the recipe for the pie crust?’ We decided that we needed all the recipes that we use over and over in one place.”

With the finest fonts and clip art available in Microsoft Word, the spiral bound, teal covered “Our Favorite Family Recipes” became a staple in the kitchen.

November 2021 Family Recipe Website

As Abby and Audrey progressed through Girl Scouts, and the projects got bigger and bigger, the idea of preserving recipes came up again and again. In a fit of inspiration over Sunday morning pancakes and breakfast tacos, Andy decided to make it happen because building a website sounded like fun. Neither child helped.

In April of 2022, after an iOS update, Andy realized he could copy text from pictures, and that helped tremendously in getting the site launched.
