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.

Taco Salad

1 lb. hamburger (browned)
1 small onion (chopped)
1 pkg. taco seasoning
Tomatoes (chopped)
Lettuce (shredded)
Onions (chopped)
Cheddar cheese (grated)
1 can refried beans (warmed)
Black olives (sliced)
Sour cream (chilled)
Taco sauce (opened)
Tacos or tortilla chips (crumbled)

Brown hamburger and onions.  Drain fat.  Add taco seasoning and water according to package directions.  Set out taco meat and other ingredients in bowls and let everyone fix their own. 
 
The kids always liked this as they could feel more like they were in control of what was on their plate--plus it tastes good.
