Pass It On Down... The Nadon / Stobbs Recipe Archive

After spending a wonderful holiday with my Mom, where we cooked multiple family favorite dinners, I thought what could be a better way to capture those recipes and share them with others than by creating this blog for my Mom to archive her recipes digitally and easily share them with the rest of the family.
