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.

Real Hot Chocolate

1 1/2 cups milk
1/2  cup whipping cream

Combine over medium heat until just below boiling. Remove from the heat and whisk in 

4 1/2 ounces chopped bittersweet or semisweet chocolate 

until it is completely melted. Serve immediately.  Top with marshmallows or whipped cream, stir with a peppermint stick, or add a little Kahlua, if desired.
