Welcome to Gilly's Place

A few years ago my granddaughters asked me to put together a cookbook of about 20 family favorite recipes and when I did the 20 pages looked rather skimpy so I added more, and more, and more till their binders held 60. Heavily embellished I gave them to the girls at Christmastime. Every Christmas since then I've added 60 more pages to their collections and have reached the 300 mark...and they're looking forward to getting even more. These are not random recipes, they're all tried and true. Anyway, when word got around it seems everybody and their second cousin wanted a cookbook so I began selling them to cover the cost of materials and now I'm passing them on to others as digital freebies, who like me, enjoy family, friends, cooking, and sharing. Print the pages to a standard letter size and save them in any old binder that blends with your kitchen. Please do print them for yourself and gift-giving to family and friends but please do not claim as your own as it wouldn't be fair to the designers I buy from or the wonderful talent that is freely given by bloggers. I'd love to hear from you and if you leave a comment on a post I will reply on the same. Please don't leave anything on the 4shared page, I seldom think to check those.

Chinese Cheesecake

Sorry about the inconvenience but I have unresolved problems with Blogger - my posts do not show up on the first page so if you want to access the new recipes please go to the right side bar and retrieve them through the year 2012/January.

Daughter's been here with Jonathan for a few days, we've been playing games all day, watching movies all night.  I'm gonna hate to see her leave...what a clean-up in store for me, hahaha.  New Year's around the corner so I'm headed that way with recipes, well, a few of them at least. Today I've combined  Guy Fieri's recipe with My4BabiesScraps' Pandas and Pagodas to bring you Chinese Cheesecake.  Not a true cheesecake as we know it, but good none-the-less. 


And if you're looking to celebrate with a more traditional dish check out Ham Steak and Hoppin John under both ham and beansAfter the lavish tables set for the New Year's Eve celebration this simple meal is served in the superstitious belief that black-eye peas bring luck, wealth and peace.  I'd like to believe that myself.



Don't forget to skip on over to Brandee's site. I peeked in this morning and will browse this afternoon.  She had a few interesting recipes I want to try out.
