I have been adding recipes for a while to a new cookbook so I could find them when I wanted to cook them. In the electronic age, a digital version seems to make more sense, since I can add, amend, advise, adjust, delete, and reconsider as often as I want to and you can access them if and when you please. I've included the recipes from my original cookbook which many of you have. I'm also going to be adding pictures as I retest many of these recipes. They aren't the latest thing or nouvelle cuisine. They're comfort food, good memories, treasured family recipes, and occasional treats as well as many healthier recipes I've grown to like in recent years. I encourage you to add comments, pictures, and favorite recipes to make this a real family cooking spot. It's the next best thing to sharing a meal.

Buttermilk Pound Cake

1 cup butter
2 cups sugar
3 eggs
1/2 tsp. soda
1 cup buttermilk
 2 3/4 cups sifted flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla, almond or lemon flavorings (or 1/2 tsp. each)

Cream butter and sugar.  Add eggs one at a time, beating after each.  Mix soda and buttermilk.  Add to mixture.  Beat well.  Sift flour and salt together and add in small amounts.  Add flavorings.  Bake in prepared tube pan at 325 degrees for 1 to 1 1/4 hours or until long pick inserted in center comes out clean.

There's lots of ways to make a pound cake.   None of them are bad.
