For me, there is just something about a paper recipe. I have a shadow box in my kitchen with hand written recipes from both my grandmas, my mom, me, my daughter, my MIL, and both my Hubby’s Grandmas. These recipes are probably one of my most prized possessions I own. Having recipes that have linked our families for generations is so special to me! For me, food is love.
I’ve tried digitizing my recipes over the years, but I always seem to pull out my paper copies. I mark them up with notes, subsititues, and dates. I always write the month and year I first made the recipe. I don’t know why I do this, but I have for as long as I have recipes for and its been fun to look back and remember how long I’ve been making something for.
This Pumpkin Roll has been in my file since I first made it in 2004. It’s now been marked up and converted to a GF version. Enjoy!
