So, I've finally posted the first wave of Nanny's recipes. It's entirely desserts, because, well, I was posting my "Dessert" folder. There are still many more dessert recipes, as well as appetizers and entrees, to be posted. I have more in digital form that I just haven't gotten to posting yet, and many, many more that I have not managed to get on my computer. It's slow-going to get through them all, since many are hard to read due to being timeworn, and others are just difficult to decipher as an actual recipe.
But here you go! This is definitely a good place to start. Want to pick just one of Nanny's recipes posted so far? I suggest starting with the peanut butter balls or the pecan pie. Those were BIG family favorites.
