Way back in 2007 (yes, that long ago!), I decided to put together a cookbook as a wedding gift for my cousin and his bride. But this wasn’t just any cookbook—it was a 60+ page labor of love, filled with family recipes, special meals, and a whole lot of heart. Everyone contributed a little something. I wanted to give them a real "welcome to the family" kind of gift, and what better way than to share the food we've bonded over for years?
That little project turned into so much more than a one-time wedding gift. I loved it so much that I eventually edited and reworked the cookbook, and while I was working at Texas Tech, it became my favorite go-to wedding present for students. (Yes, food is my love language, and what better way to celebrate new beginnings than by passing on some seriously good eats?)
There are so many memories tied to these recipes. Each one brings me back to our kitchen table, where stories were shared, laughter was loud, and someone always asked for seconds. This cookbook captures all of that—it's not just about the food, but about the memories we create when we gather together.
So, if you’re curious to check out what’s been cooking in our family for years, here's a little taste of it! You can grab your copy of the cookbook right here! Trust me, it’s full of simple, tried-and-true recipes that will have you feeling like part of the family in no time.
Happy cooking, and even happier eating!
