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.

Spanish Rice

1 lb. lean ground beef
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped green pepper
1 cup diced celery
3 1/2 cups canned tomatoes  (approx. 2 cans)
2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 cup raw rice

Brown beef, garlic, and onion.  Pour off fat. Add remaining ingredients except rice.  Cook until steaming.  Stir well and sprinkle rice over meat mixture.  Cover and cook at low temperature until rice is tender, 20 to 30 minutes.

This recipe is from Glenda Dietrich, my cousin by marriage.  We got together occasionally with her and my cousin Perry when busy lives permit, and we always enjoyed talking and eating and laughing.  Then we wonder why we don’t get together more often.
