More than twenty years ago, my mother, Mabel Monks, typed up a few of her favorite recipes and gave them to her children for Christmas. In this little book, I have reproduced her recipes for everyone to enjoy. I have followed each one of the recipes and have included photos of the results. They are a mixture of main meals and desserts in their original order. Her children still love these recipes.It was a happy and boisterous home for Norm, Marilyn, Dave, Jan, and Steve.
