Welcome!

Welcome to my blog!

My original idea was to ask as many people as possible to share recipes with me that could be considered "Old Millville" originals - family favorites that you think were particular to Millville or more specifically your family, your neighborhood, "side of town", or nationality.

Financial constraints on the family budget caused many of our mothers and grandmothers (or grandfathers in my case) to be creative in the kitchen.  Some recipes were just dishes that were adapted from originals, some were originals meant to stretch a dollar to feed a family and others had funny names and ingredients that only we Millvillians have created.

I've received many responses.  This blog is my attempt to keep my promise and share the recipes with all who are interested.  I'll be adding recipes a few at a time, but will eventually include all that you've shared.  I've also been able to gather many other old, interesting recipes, home remedies, and family favorites that may not necessarily be Millville originals but I hope you'll find them as interesting as I have.  Suggestions for this blog are always welcome.

I'm new at this so bear with me.  I have much to learn about format and content, but with your help, maybe I'll pull this off.  Oh, and keep sending recipes and photos that you'd like to share.  This will be an on going project.
