The Niemela Family
I started this blog for a college class project, but I am enjoying it so
much, it will most definately extend well beyond the end of the
semester! I am very excited to share my endless supply of recipes.
Many will come from a family cookbook I published
with the help of my family, "408 Magnolia Lane - A Torola Family
Cookbook". I must clarify that most of the recipes are not "mine", but
were contributed by many friends and family members that are as
passionate about food as I am. Cooking to satisfy the varying
tastes of 6 children and a husband can be a challenge, so most of my
recipes lean toward the down-home everyday type of cooking that I grew
up on. Occasionally I may step outside the box and throw in a recipe
with an ingredient or two that I can't pronounce,
and a dish that my kids wouldn't touch. No matter what the ingredients, you will know it is a recipe filled with enjoyment! Thank you for visiting my blog,
and I welcome your comments.
Thank you so much for sharing your recipes. I printed a couple of them out so that I can try them and see if my family will enjoy them also. Good luck with your college class project, and I hope you get a good grade!

DeleteHi Sarah,
ReplyDeleteReceived a tip about your blog from your sister Tricia who is a friend of mine! I miss her so much since she moved to Florida. She did give me your famous cookbook before she left. :) Looking forward to trying some of these great recipes. Starting with Mexican curry tonight!
