Heirloom Eats

heir·loom (noun): a valuable object that has belonged to a family for several generations

From furniture and faith to collectibles and character traits, there are a lot of things that get passed down over the course of a family’s history, and recipes are no exception. But a recipe nurtured by generations of love and care is so much more than the food it creates. It’s also a reminder of the laughter and light that can happen when a family comes together.

“I grew up eating these wonderful blueberry lemon muffins with buttery sugared tops every summer when our family visited my Grandma Ruth Rice. She had a large family, and everyone loved these special muffins so much that she would make huge batches to freeze so that we could all have homemade muffins every morning!  I love that she lives on with this recipe that her children, grandchildren, and now great grandchildren make for their families!” –Melanie Christensen
