Sharing Family Recipes

As time has gone by and I have gotten older, I have started to realize that there are many many family recipes that my grammie and my mom have made over the years that no one has bothered to write down. These are the recipes that remind you of happy childhood days. The days when you would walk into the kitchen and instantly know what was cooking on the stove or baking in the oven. Sad to say with my family, many of these 'secret' family recipes have never been written down. They have been passed along from one generation to the next but then the inevitable happens- someone forgets how it was done! Does it get any sadder than that? Now that my grammie is failing and no longer able to share her recipes or give us little hints I think that it's time to start writing down the ones I do know (or my mom or my sister) and share them with other people. I realize that there are many recipe websites out there but I think one more can't hurt. I will update and share new recipes every chance I get. I am open to suggestions and other recipes as well! I would love to try out any family recipes that you may be willing to share. We may even be able to remember some 'forgotten' recipes together!
Here is one of my very favorite recipes straight from grammie's kitchen:
Grammie's Skillet Cookies

2 eggs yolks
1- 8oz. package chopped dates
1 cup chopped walnuts
3/4 cup white sugar
1 stick butter
2 teaspoons vanilla
pinch of salt
2 cups Rice Krispies
powdered sugar
Add all ingredients into a frying pan and cook until dates are softened. I find it easiest if the egg yolks are added last. Remove mixture from the heat. Add the 2 cups of Rice Krispies, Being very careful because it can still be hot- form into balls and roll in the powdered sugar. Then they are ready to eat! I constantly rinse my hands with cool water to keep the cookie mixture from sticking to my hands.
I hope someone else enjoys these cookies just as much as my family and I do!!!!
