I had 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 both my original cookbook which many of you have, and additional accumulated recipes that never got published. This isn’t the latest thing or nouvelle cuisine. These recipes are 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.

Cecelia's Pound Cake

1 (8 oz.) package cream cheese
3 sticks butter
3 cups sugar
6 eggs
3 cups flour
1 tsp. salt
1 Tbsp. vanilla

Cream butter and cream cheese. Add sugar and mix. Add eggs, one at a time. Add flour and vanilla and mix well. Bake at 325 degrees 1 hour and 15 minutes.

My friend Cecelia Sands makes one of these cakes every week for her husband, Ira, who has a slice each evening after dinner. She is kind enough to make it for us sometimes when we play cards at her house.
