Granny's baked bean recipe! There are a lot of other recipes in my granny's barely-legible scrawl as well as some ancient crumbling recipe cards that I can only imagine were her mother's or even grandmother's. SUCH a treasure. I'm trying to figure out how to nicely frame some of them to decorate my new kitchen once I move next week!Krystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15341112847255454593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16182378.post-14625671030217128732010-09-12T08:10:23.737-05:002010-09-12T08:10:23.737-05:00I love this!!
