A Ton Of Recipes

Sophie, Mom, Grandma, Robbie and I all went on an adventure tonight. We spent the evening poking through Salvation Army and Goodwill! Sophie found an amazing cookie jar at Goodwill that had a bunch of recipes stuffed in it. She decided someone must have died and someone else was going through their house getting rid of things and the cookie jar was expendable. I agree. Anyways she didn't really like any of the recipes but I found quite a few that look interesting. I don't really want to copy them all over by hand (cause the paper is kinda icky and smelly) and I also don't want to save them on my husbands computer because he re-formats ALL THE TIME. The next best thing is to post them here, on our cooking blog that never gets used! Here goes.
