Historic recipe found in the old farmhouse my husband was remodeling. An amazing find behind the walls of the ones torn out, was an endless treasure of old recipes all on the walls. The entire kitchen and dining area was covered in recipes. Yay for me! So Here I am sharing and caring hoping their traditions from the past will carry on into the future.
