Holiday Recipes
(that  are fit to eat!)

Loretta, affectionately known to her family as Mamaw, was a loving Wife, Mother, Grandmother, and Great-Grandmother who consistently loved her friends and family by way of the kitchen.  She had an uncanny knack for creating meals that would leave everyone full and happy. 

She rarely measured her ingredients, as her experience guided her mix-ins, but (fortunately for us!) she did write down a few of her holiday masterpieces, which were found in a spiral notebook titled "Holiday Recipes (That are fit to eat!)".  This spiral notebook was found in the shuffle when Loretta's son, Mark, and his wife, Diane, were moving to a new home in the Winter of 2025.

This website is a transcription of Mamaw's personal handwritten recipe book for the holidays.  Here you will find photos of all of her original recipes, along with a typed summary/transcript that attempts to preserve as much of Mamaw's charm as possible!  Bon appétit!
