The Things I've Learned!

I just wanted to share with everyone the things that I've learned since doing the Cookbook Project!!

1. How to spell Potatoes. When it's singular there is no E at the end.


2. How to spell Tomatoes. Same rule applies!


3. How to spell Worcestershire. (Actually I still don't know how to spell this word and after doing this cookbook I'm going to try my darndest never to use this in a recipe so I don't have to EVER write it down!)


4. The more recipes you look at the less you want to cook! (Not kidding)


5. No matter how long it's been since I've seen or talked to people in the Richards Family they can still make me feel loved and important!!

I loved putting this cookbook together for the family! I've said it before and I'll probably keep saying it.....Everyone was soooo great and supportive that I talked to! I am proud to be a Richards and tell my kids the memories that I have of the family reunions. It's the kind of memories that I hope and try to give my kids.

Anyone who knows me knows that I have a LOVE for Iowa. (I'll admit maybe a little too much!). But to me Iowa holds so many happy memories of my childhood and my adult life! When I go to Iowa I'm seeing my family and building more memories with the most important people in my life. No matter how long it's been it feels like no time has passed and we pick up right were we left off. The older I get the more important family is!
