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.

Shrimp Dip

1 (8 oz.) carton sour cream
1 (8 oz.) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped onion
Salt and pepper
Red pepper to taste
Juice of 1 lemon
2 (4 1/2 oz.) cans shrimp

Blend sour cream and cream cheese until smooth. Fold in celery and onion. Add seasonings and lemon juice. Mash shrimp with a fork and add to mixture. Refrigerate for several hours before serving. May be prepared two days in advance. Serve with corn chips or crackers. Makes 1 quart.

This is said to be former Gov. Jeb Bush's favorite snack, but don't hold it against the dip.
