This blog is dedicated to family night dinners. Today we need to get back to our roots, our foundation, and family is what it's all about. This blog will highlight one dinner entree, side, or dessert idea a week. Sometimes I may throw in other things, but mostly this blog will feature recipes.

The idea for this blog came about while my oldest daughter and I were doing some spring cleaning tasks. We came across an old recipe card box my Nana had left to me. My teen started filing through the cards and thought it would be nice to start varying up our menu a bit by trying some of the recipes.

I agreed and showed her an entire cabinet full of two other recipe card files and a slew of cook books. She was astonished.

She asked if I had ever made any of the recipes. I told her I use a lot of them all the time. But I put my own touches on them and make them mine. Mind here that recipes are only guides. Recipes can be changed to suit your needs.

She continued filing through the cards and picked some she liked.

So here we are. We have a family night tradition already, but we're going to change our regular junk food choices (quick fix meals like frozen pizza, chili dogs, or burgers) to a real recipe cook-off fest the whole family can partake in.

Join us in our new recipe venture...
