Don't you think it's about time that we create a Family Cookbook? Well, I DO! I've spent some time researching trying to come up with the easiest (free) way to get it going, and I believe this is it. Please post any of your favorite recipes, also any tips -- cooking, household, beauty, whatever -- and any inspirational thoughts (whether your own, or someone else's.) I would LOVE to have pictures to include as well. You could take pictures of the dishes/recipes you are submitting, or even just great pictures (or even below average pictures) of you and your family!

Please label each post with an appropriate label (i.e., salad, dessert, vegetarian, household tip, inspiration, etc.) Go ahead and add labels as needed; and it's ok to have more than one label per recipe/post.

My plan is to take what we assemble here, and put it into book form. I would love to have it ready for our Thanksgiving Extravaganza!

Fluffy Sugar Cookies

3 1/4 cup flour
1 teaspoon soda
1 cup sugar
 1 egg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup sour cream

Mix flour, soda, and salt in a mixing bowl. Set aside. Cream together butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla in a large bowl. Add sour cream. Mix in dry ingredients. Roll out on a floured board about 1/2 inch thick. Don't get them too thin. Place on a greased cookie sheet and bake for 8 minutes at 400 degrees. Watch closely as they bake. They brown quickly and can burn easily.

Frosting

2 pounds powdered sugar
1/2 tsp. cream of tartar
1 cup shortening
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. almond extract
1/4 tsp. salt
1 egg white
3-4 T. milk

Beat for 7 minutes on low adding the sugar slowly.
