Share the Family Recipes!

Several years ago, I started a cookbook project, with the intent to compile recipes from each of Dell and Pearl's children and their families. Several recipes were collected and I began researching the options for having them published . . . and it was more time-consuming and expensive than I anticipated . . . then all the recipes got stuck in a drawer and thought about less and less.

Until now. Who needs another book on a shelf? We're going online! I am still adding all the recipes I was sent years ago, but it's a start. (Notice the recipes submitted from kids who are now teens?) And I'd love to continue adding! So if you have a recipe to add to our family cookbook, please send it to me in an email and I will get it right up! Feel free to add any anecdotes attached to the dish too. Photos would be great as well!

Subscribe over there on the right and any new recipes and updates will be sent directly to you.

Happy eating!


Chapel Fudge

Rosalie Robison Risk

Put in mixing bowl:
12 oz (2 cups) chocolate chips (Hershey's work best)
2 sticks margarine
1 tablespoon vanilla

Combine and mix together in 4 quart heavy kettle:
4 cups sugar
1 1/3 cups canned milk
exactly 20 large marshmallows

Bring sugar mixture to rolling boil over med-high heat, stirring constantly. Continue
cooking at a rolling boil on med, med-high stirring constantly for 8 minutes. Pour hot mixture into chocolate chip mixture and beat vigorously with wooden spoon for at least 3 minutes. May add 1/2 cup or more nuts if desired. Pour into buttered 9x13 pan and cool. NOTE: If using milk chocolate chips, boil the mixture at least 12 minutes. It's wonderful made with mint chocolate chips, as well. If they're not available add 1/2 t. Mint flavor to regular chocolate chips.

This 'secret' recipe was closely guarded for many years. She was my Visiting Teacher and gave me this recipe. The fudge is great! As is the peanut butter variety.
