- 12 Weeks Of Christmas Cookies: Holly Berry Cookies
A family tradition. Every Christmas, I'd wait for my Aunt Kathy to bring the Holly Berry cookies. The entire family would be there: grandparents, their six kids & spouses, & the 19 grandchildren. It got loud & too hot, but we had fun. Lots of laughter...
- In My Heart: Livestrong With A Taste Of Yellow 2010
I could write something poetic here. That's never been my style. So I'll stick to the facts. Cancer stalks the women in my family. On both sides. My Grammy is one of five girls; all five battled at least one form of cancer. More than one found...

Missing my favorite food from My family - Meme
- Grammy's Irish Stew; there's no substitute
- Thanksgiving dinner at Grammy & Grampa's house...lots of turkey, stuffing and gravy!
- Eating Circus Peanuts with Grampa while we watched the Steelers play
- Making fudge with Grammy, whipping and whipping it for ages...then getting to lick the spoon!
- Eating frozen Hostess cupcakes...shut up. I was five.
- Sharing a batch of wing dings with Grampa while we watched the Pirates play
- A bowl of Boo Berry cereal while watching Saturday morning cartoons
- Eating peas right out of the garden during the summer...poor Grammy rarely had any to freeze!
- The chipped ham sandwiches Grammy often made; super-thin (chip-chopped) ham slices, simmered in a barbecue-like sauce, in the crockpot, for hours and hours.
- Grammy's potato salad. It's not a picnic without it.
