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.

Cream Cheese Squares

2 packages crescent rolls
1 1/4 cups sugar, divided
1 egg, separated
1 tsp. vanilla
8 oz. cream cheese, softened

Mix the cream cheese with egg yolk, 3/4 cup sugar, and vanilla.  Spread one package crescent rolls flat in 9 x 13 cake pan sprayed with baking spray.  Spread cream cheese mixture over top.  Spread second package of crescent rolls flat on top.  Beat egg white with remaining 1/2 cup sugar.  Use pastry brush to paint top layer of rolls with egg white mixture.  Bake at 375 degrees for about 20 minutes.  Allow to cool slightly and cut in triangles to serve.

 Shannon's aunt, Betty Crosby, made these rich pastries for Amanda's christening brunch.  They were gone before anything else.
