Fun in the Kitchen

I made this for Summer's Birthday this year....it didn't look exactly like this but it was delicious.

Last Christmas a sweet friend gave me a recipe book to write down all of my families recipes in. This was, in my opinion, one of the sweetest and most thought out gifts I have ever gotten. At some point this summer I decided to honor that gift and cook as much as I possibly could. Here is what I have cooked so far and it has been quite fun....

Peach Tree's Strawberry crepes
Mama Bee's Lemon Squares
Chelsea's Chocolate Chip Cookies
Hedlund's Chocolate Chip Cookies
Grandmother's Baked Salmon
Grandmother's Banana Bran Muffins
Hedlund's Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread
