Recipe File




Hi folks!
I know... it's been a minute since I've posted anything. I've had a year or so of burnout, LOL! An incident, however, on social media has kicked me in the britches and made me come out of hiding.

It seems a trusted admin in a group I started a few years ago, left the group and took all our over 2,800 recipes along with her. She started her own group and took them with her. All I can say is I hope things go well for the new group.

The incident has left me reeling and not very trusting of the social media realm, so I am in the process of closing down the group and my page there. It may be a mistake, but for now I'm going with my gut on this one.

The biggest heartache for me was not losing the recipes (I have recovered most of them) and not even the loss of trust in someone (or some ones) I had put my faith in... but that the actions of a few have affected a host of good, trustworthy folks... folks I have come to consider friends... YOU folks!

So in this post I will try to link to my copy of the recipe folders in my One Drive account... so you dear readers will have access to them even after the social media sites are shut down.

Thank you for your support and friendship.

I need to make a necessary disclaimer... the recipes in the files are simply recipes that have been shared by canners and cooks from all over the US and even other parts of the world and some use methods that are heirloom, outdated by today's USDA guidelines, and/or using another country's guidelines that may or may not be the same as the ones you are accustomed to. Don't judge, do your own research, use the ones you are comfortable using. Use at your own discretion.

Click on the link Recipe Box and we'll see if this works.

    I was able to access the recipes easily, in fact I kind of like the simple way to see them.
    You can rebuild and make it all better than before, an opportunity!

    I'm really glad to see you back here on Bloggspot!!!! I had been canning squash and shared pics in a canning group and had my rear raked over the coals...well my husband pointed me in the direction of your blog (yes my husband) and after reading your blog post on that, I knew that I was ok to continue on canning my squash!!! Lets be honest, that's one of those veggie plants that just keeps on giving!!! :) I hate that you had such a yucky experience on social media, and lost your trust in somebody that you had put your trust in!!!! I would love it if you took a look at my blog, and let me know what you think of it. It's just a little farm blog, with some random recipes, and crochet patterns. www.reallittlefarm.blogspot.com Thank you for being such a wonderful person!!!!!

    I will never understand the mindset of mean people. Life is too short to be greedy. Keep your chin up.

    I want to say that I am so sorry that this happened to you. I have always enjoyed your facebook page and your blog. I may not agree with every recipe but I don't have to make the ones I don't agree with. I want you to know that I have told those in my group that you a fine person and I believe that you are. God Bless you Granny.

    So happy to see all of the recipes here- had been a member on the Facebook page and went away on vacation for a week and came back and I saw the posts about you shutting the page down and was upset about it. Loved to be able to get ideas from all of the great recipes.

      I don't feel right doing that, sorry. There was more than one person and I don't want to cause the same type of drama they caused... just tryin' to do the right thing with as few waves as possible. :D ~~Granny

    Sure have missed your posts here on the blog, glad you are back. Do you still have your soap-making site?

      No, the soap site is no longer... still make soap and such for friends and family... but as a business, it didn't work out for us. Thanks for asking. ~~Granny
