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.

Leona’s Fruit and Pasta Salad

1 package ring macaroni
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter
2 Tbsp. flour
3 Tbsp. vinegar
Juice from one large can pineapple
2 eggs, well beaten

Fruit, as desired, such as miniature marshmallows, drained pineapple, seedless grapes, bananas, maraschino cherries, and mandarin oranges.

Cream butter, sugar, and flour.  Add pineapple juice and vinegar.  Then add the eggs which have been well beaten and cook on medium heat until it thickens to the consistency of cream, but not as thick as pudding.  Cool completely.  Cook macaroni according to package directions.  Cool.  Add dressing to macaroni along with fruit as desired.  Chill.  

This is a recipe from Leona Jacobson, my Uncle Mel’s sister.  It is great for family dinners and covered dish occasions.
