Grandmother’s Recipe Box

My paternal grandmother, Mary Alta Hendricks’ recipe box. No fewer than five recipes for rolls. Lots of baking cakes. There are Crisp Pickle Chips, a few prize winners clipped from a newspaper one from 1950. I’ve posted some before but I like to touch and read them, find her friends’ names in pencil- Lucille Roberts, Ruth Kiest, Vesta.

Four years ago I posted about my friend Kristin’s husband Rick baking bread and showed her recipe box with a poem in the lid.

Today I’m sharing more of the contents as my friend Vincie suggested recipe cards after a post a couple of months asking if you still use cookbooks
