Thanks to Family

Thanks to the growth of our family over the years, and the adding and blending of traditions. And to all you out there near and far - thanks for your food.

A sampling of the recipes making an appearance this weekend:

Swedish meatballs (my Grandpa Jackson - note that this recipe came with lessons compliments of my dad)
Apple bread (my mom)
Nutty Yam bake (Brian's mom, Sue)
Strawberry Pretzel Salad (Aunt Karen)
Pecan pie (Grandma Jackson - maybe not her original recipe, but thanks to the last one she ever made - she will be forever linked to pecan pie)
Pumpkin pie (Sue)
Corn pudding (I don't know - Jeanne?, Karen?)
Better than Sex Cake (Brian's Grandma Lois)
Breakfast pizza (Sue)

Plus all the wonderful new recipes that might be credited to us (well, let's face it - to Brian) by Allison and Jacob in the future.

And then there are the jello magic carpets - compliments of Allison and Jacob - which exploded marshmallow and jello all over the microwave and kitchen counters / floors - and may never be made again!!

You'll have to thank Aunt Denise too. I got the Nutty Yam Bake from her.
