Our Family Recipes

A Collection of Cakes, Cookies, Candies, Breads, etc.

My love for cooking was passed down from a family collection of cakes, cookies, candies, breads, main dishes, and other great recipes. Check out the low carb section for those who are watching the carb intake.

Some of the best memories I have of family cooking and sharing of our favorite recipes, were as a child growing up in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, USA. In my humble opinion, there is no prettier place on earth.

My grandparents had orchards of some of the best fruits I have ever tasted. My great-grandfather was a master at grafting fruit trees and he won the gold medal one year for his talents. I remember the peaches being as big as softballs. Bite into one of those and the juice runs down your chin! Then comes the peach fuzz itch, but who cares?

Many of those fruits found their way into Fabulous Cakes and many Marvelous Pies and Cobblers too. Desserts were made from peaches, plums, apricots and apples of many varieties. We ate all the fruit we could and we canned the rest, making them into homemade jams and jellies.

Of course what would a great recipe collection be without Sensational Homemade Candies. There are some incredible fudge recipes in our collection you simply must try. Many other delicious desserts are included here such as Mouthwatering Cookies and lots of other goodies.

In the cold winters of Colorado great food was especially appreciated. Wonderful Homemade Breads coming out of the oven on a freezing winter day, what a treat! Breads and rolls are great for making sandwiches, or dipping them into piping hot Soups. Sometimes the simplicity of food makes for the best memories.

In those fertile soils, my grandparents grew all of their own vegetables. I remember shucking the corn and snapping string beans. What about eating watermelon, strawberries, ripe tomatoes and baby green peas right out of the garden? So my family were farmers that were rich in good food from the gardens and orchards, though they were not wealthy by the worlds standards. Out of necessity first, and then out of a love for cooking good tasting food, our-family-recipes.com was born. If you love chocolate cake, we have many varieties of cakes that we have compiled over the years.

We have some pretty delicious Main Dishes too, and for those watching the carbs we have Delicious Low Carb versions, Salads and side dishes too. So please take a few moments and find your favorite that you would like to try.
