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.

Grandma Martin's Tomato Soup

Tomatoes (fresh or canned), chopped fine
Cream or half-and-half
1/8 tsp. soda
Butter to taste
Salt and pepper

Put tomatoes in one pan, cream in another. Warm cream, do not boil. Add soda to cream to prevent curdling. Simmer tomatoes 5 to 10 minutes. Mix cream and tomatoes, and add a little margarine or butter. Season to taste. Serve at once. 
My Aunt Opal gave me this recipe. I can remember eating this soup at Grandma Martin's house. The soup can be processed in the blender before serving if you prefer a smoother soup.
