Family Traditions and Inheritence

Old Mother Hubbard was the affectionate term given to Old Grandmom, Margaret Alice Richardson Hubbard, by herself taken from the rhyme Old Mother Hubbard's Cupboard .

She kept and used recipes found in newspapers and magazines, as well as those given her by friends. This book was inherited by her daughter and only child, Margaret Ann Hubbard Rowe upon her death. This book will then be inherited by her only granddaughter Maryellen Danielle Rowe upon Margaret Ann’s death. That leaves a problem for her other children and grandchildren; sharing in the family food history. The easy solution for the problem is to record them and share them with everyone who is interested, thus the impetus for this effort.

Also included are favorites now of Margaret Ann Hubbard Rowe, as well as hints and helps for everything from safe cooking practices to substitutions for missing ingredients (some if which came from Old Grandmom). It is hoped that these may be added to by each succeeding generation for the enjoyment of all!
