Home Decor: Family Recipes

Most people have a traditional family recipe, one that is a classic dish with an original twist, is always requested for potlucks and parties or is a secret only shared amongst fellow family members.

Some recipes that come to mind are my great grandmother's recipe for arroz con pollo (the Cuban version of chicken and rice), my grandmother's authentic Italian meatball recipe (evidently I don't get this one 'til marriage...we'll see about that) and my mom's signature key lime pie recipe.

All of these recipes have very different origins, but they reflect the diversity of my family and the generational love of cooking that my whole family possesses, which is pretty cool.

And just like the history that is captured through photographs and displayed prominently on the walls of our homes, why shouldn't our family culinary histories also be displayed?

We love these ideas of taking hand written family recipes and framing them for some truly original home decor!
