Mom's Cookbook

This section contains recipes from our Mothers. My mom Jan Lakin was famous for her sugar cookies and "green stuff" plus cooked us a few Swedish dinners like Swedish meatballs pancakes,and potato sausage. Ruth Thompson was a great baker known for her cream puffs , fudge, and divinity. The grand kids were always pushing her to make her homemade pizza. These recipes are all great dishes our families grew up enjoying.
