About This Blog

My mom, Barbara Janet (Maitland) Jacobson, had an old wooden recipe box in which she kept her favorite recipes. Many of the recipes came to her from her mother, Leota Blanche (Otter) Ostlund. Grandma Ostlund was widowed twice - once to Mr. Peterson, later to my grandfather James Maitland. She married Grandpa Ostlund when I was around two. Some of these recipes came to Grandma - and to Mom - from relatives of all these families, as well as friends. Some came from my father LeMonte Jacobson's family. Many of these recipes became family favorites. It doesn't seem fair that I should keep them to myself. This is my way of sharing these with my family and friends. Enjoy!
