I’m working in my FOREVER account today, participating in the Match A Day in May challenge I wrote about on Monday. You can read that post and still join if you’d like (read the post HERE). I can’t win, but I like having an accountability task.
Today, I was working on my family recipe album when I came across this Pineapple Delight recipe. I thought it was a copy of another recipe my mom used to make with the same name. (See the other HERE, it’s delicious.)
But this recipe is different, so I added the name of the recipe to the photo and wrote the entire recipe in the white box for the photo. You can’t see the whole description, but you get the idea.
Putting the recipe’s name helps me easily access it by searching in my gallery view in FOREVER. In fact, I just did that, and I found eight recipes with the word pineapple in them.
One thing about this Album, which is called “Our Family Recipes,” is that I’ve also given access to my sister-in-laws and my nieces so they can access it at any time they’d like. I only asked that if they create a recipe, they send me photos of their creations so I can continue working on my “cooking with family” recipe book.
What’s your favorite family recipe, and why is it a favorite? Does it remind you of a family gathering, or is it a recipe that someone in your family was famous for (at least in your family)? Let me know in the comments.

A favorite recipe of our family is an ethnic one (Mennonite) called “Portzelky. It is a yeast, raisin filled fritter fried in oil. We always enjoyed it first thing New Year’s Day (hence it is also known as “New Year’s Cookies” (not a cookie). When our daughter married a man with Dutch/German roots, she learned that this exact fritter recipe was called “Oliebollen” in the Dutch tradition, and eaten on New Years day as well. A lot of Mennonites (our branch included) originated in The Netherlands (Holland).
Rosalee, That sounds delicious. It’s also interesting that this traditional Dutch dish has changed names dependent on the group but still has the same ingredients and is eaten on the same day as a New Years treat.
